“GUYS AND DOLLS,” one of Broadway’s most popular and cheerful musical comedies, continues to enchant audiences around the world. Premiering on Broadway in 1950 and running for an impressive 1,200 performances, this masterpiece of a musical comedy has seen countless revivals across the globe and continues to be loved by audiences to this day. The Takarazuka Revue first staged it in 1984, with Moon Troupe’s Mao Daichi and Hitomi Kuroki in the lead. It was revived in 2002 by Moon Troupe, starring Jun Shibuki and Kurara Emi, and again by Star Troupe in 2015 with Kairi Hokusho and Fu Hinami in the lead roles, all of which earned great acclaim. This beloved musical, packed with exhilarating numbers, is brought to life by Moon Troupe, led by An Hozuki and Juri Amashi, with a new script, translated lyrics, and direction for the 2025 production.

The time: around 1948. The place: New York City. Gambler Sky is challenged by his friend Nathan to a bet: whether he can successfully seduce the woman of Nathan’s choosing. The woman chosen is Sarah, a young woman in the Salvation Army, who is known for her strict and upright nature. Sky, who considers himself a playboy, confidently accepts the bet and begins to charm Sarah with his smooth words...

• Final performance for vice-kumichou Shirayuki Sachika, Irodori Michiru, and Sou Yuuki.
