WARNING!! MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!!
After making the mistake of trading his single white feather to the devil Evelyn for a full-set of black wings, fallen angel Mephistopheles is sent to earth to collect the souls of humans. There, he notices a girl Angela drop a piece of paper.
He follows her to a singing audition, where he watches as she meets another aspiring singer named Michael. The two young people hit it off, but Michael's performance gets him kicked out of the competition. Angela's song about her guardian angel has the opposite effect: the company president loves her singing and she is rushed off to be prepared for her debut as an entertainment idol.
After the audition, Michael and two other contestents (the rock-and-roller Raul and surfer-boy Gabby are at loose ends. Mephistopheles approaches Michael and gets him to sign a magic card that will get him whatever he wants. Of course, the price is his soul. Still in disbelief, Michael signs.
Mephistopheles and his fellow devils use their wiles to make their new band the "Lost Angels" (made up of Michael, Raul, and Gabby) the opening act for Angela's debut concert. Meanwhile, under the tutelage of Brian, Angela works hard to live up to the expectations of a proper idol.
But it's not until the concert goes off successfully all around, that Mephistopheles true game can begin...
Marketed as
Suzukaze Mayo's last performance with Takarazuka (it actually took place between the Grand Theater and Tokyo runs of Grand
Hotel/Broadway Boys.)
The play features several songs from the musical "Elisabeth", re-written with new lyrics to match the play. This was not long after the musical debuted and was several years before Takarazuka would perform it.
