Persona 4 Stage Adaptation Underway
I have to hand it to Atlus. Just when you think they’re ready to move on, they find a way to surprise us. After they announced the Persona 4 anime, and fighting game, I seriously thought that would be the last we saw of the series. It wasn’t long before they announced a port of the original for Sony’s Playstation Vita, which will launch stateside next year. Now, they’re even discussing plans for a stage adaptation of the game to debut next March. The show’s being produced by Marvelous AQL, who some of you might recognize from games like Harvest Moon, and Rune Factory. They also happen to be involved in musical theater, television series, and other forms of media, so they’ve had experience with this sort of thing in the past. In fact, they recently produced a popular musical based on the anime Prince of Tennis.
This upcoming production will only show for five days, so unless you have plans to visit Japan in mid-March, you can probably count on missing out. If , on the other hand, you happen to be in the neighborhood, tickets will run ¥7,000 to ¥10,000 a pop. More information regarding the show and how to order your tickets can be found on the Marvelous AQL website here.
