"Can 'DANDADAN' really be adapted for the stage?" Bringing that overwhelming world and relentless battles to life inside a theater space—a gem of a staff team from various fields gathered to take on this seemingly reckless challenge. Within that world, the ultimate cast charges through as their characters. Featuring dance expressions and action rarely seen even in 2.5D theater, along with the unique passion of live stage performance. Please come to the theater and experience the moment "DANDADAN" explodes right before your eyes—an experience that neither manga nor anime can match!

There are moments when the story feels so close to home, and others with unrealistic events that could only exist in a dream. I would be thrilled if you let yourself be swept up, captivated, and fall even deeper in love with the world of "DANDADAN" unfolding right in front of you. Please also pay close attention to the unique characters and the beautifully dancing ensemble!!

Opening day has finally, finally arrived! I really wanted to deliver this to our audience as soon as possible! From the passion of the company during our first script reading to the countless amazing scenes coming together as rehearsals progressed, I've been restless this whole time, wondering when we'd finally get to share this work created by our unified, ultimate company. This production incorporates many "expressions unique to live theater." In an era where technology continues to advance rapidly, having the cast run all across the stage colors the world of "DANDADAN" vividly through physical expression. From young children to grandmas and grandpas, here is theater and entertainment that everyone can enjoy. You've got no choice but to watch it in the theater!

The stage play "DANDADAN" has finally opened! During rehearsal, there were so many moments where I wondered, "How is this going to turn out on stage?" But once we stepped into the theater, with lighting, sound, and the heat of the audience added, it became an incredible "DANDADAN." I really want everyone to pay attention to the physical expressions of the entire cast and the action using our whole bodies! Don't overthink anything—just dive into this world and get excited together with us. I'll sprint full-out right to the end!

Following the manga and anime, we've completed a work that we can proudly present as "the ultimate stage version of DANDADAN!" The dynamic energy you can only experience on a live stage, and the numerous battle scenes unfolding right before your eyes. Day after day, I was continually amazed by the overwhelming physicality and skillful expressiveness of everyone handling the action and dance. It's a show where you'll genuinely feel, "It would be such a waste not to see this!" Please experience the power and emotion unique to a live stage performance at the theater!!
