Masks, soliloquys, artist-inspired names, wild taste in theme songs, general flamboyance… if you ask me, a stage adaptation of Hirohiko Araki's eternal JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga has been long overdue. But at long last, that day has finally dawned!

 

It was just announced that Tokyo's Imperial Theater will play host to a musical adaptation of the Phantom Blood arc starting in February 2024, helmed by Under Execution, Under Jailbreak stage play director Ney Hasegawa and penned by My Hero Academia: The "Ultra" Stage's Tsuneyasu Motoyoshi, with a soundtrack produced by French composer Dove Attia.

Crunchyroll streams the first five parts of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime, describing the long-running series' beginnings as such:

 

In ancient Mexico, people of Aztec had prospered. They had historic and strange "Stone Mask". It was a miraculous mask which brings eternal life and the power of authentic ruler. But the mask suddenly disappeared.

 

A long time after that, in late 19th centuries when the thought and life of people were suddenly changing, Jonathan Joestar met with Dio Brando―. They spend time together through boyhood to youth, and the "Stone Mask" brings curious fate to them―.
