As 2022 drew to a close, it was announced that the comedy manga and anime You're Being Summoned, Azazel would be adapted for the stage. Not long after, we got our first look at the life-sized dolls who would represent the series's cartoonish demons onstage. Now we've got two more!
As previously announced, the role of Beelzebub is double-cast, with Ryotaro Okiayu and Hiroki Takahashi taking turns in the role. New photos show them both posing with the onstage Beelzebub:

Synopsis:
Have a stalker you just can't shake? Fear your spouse is being unfaithful? You might consider hiring Akutabe, a detective who summons demons to do his dirty work. While his methods might seem unorthodox, he always gets results. However, as powerful as Akutabe is, manipulating demons is delicate art. His new part-time employee Sakuma, a young college girl, doesn't get to spend too much time exploring the finer points of controlling demons before Akutabe forces her into a demonic contract with Azazel. Azazel is lazy, lustful and depraved... Everything you'd expect a demon to be.
