WARNING!! MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!!

"Die Fledermaus" (The Bat) is an operetta by Johann Strauss II, also known as "The Waltz King." The new, extraordinary and delightful musical by Kairi Hokusho and the Star troupe breathes fresh life into a work with many a famous song and adoring fans around the world.

It is the late 19th century in Vienna. Dr. Falke, together with his good friend, the Marquis Eisenstein, is attending a costume ball hosted by Empress Elisabeth. On the way home, Eisenstein is at a loss over what to do with the intoxicated Falke. He gets carried away and ties up Falke along an avenue. The doctor is stuck there all the night. Falke, trapped in his bat costume until the morning, becomes the laughingstock of the city and earns the nickname "Dr. Bat." He is unable to contain his anger, and to give Marquis Eisenstein a taste of his own medicine, Falke comes up with a plan for sweet revenge. Savor the gamesmanship between masterminds in a musical featuring a unique cast of characters.
