Japan Gets Kinky!

Musical: Kinky Boots

Japan's Teppei Koike takes the lead of a fantastic team in this exciting take on the famous musical. Based on the 2005 British film Kinky Boots, the musical tells the story of Charlie Price who having inherited a shoe factory from his father, forms an unlikely partnership with drag queen Lola to produce a line of high-heeled boots and save the business. This unanticipated encounter leads the two to places they've never imagined they'd go ... and so much fun on the way! A fantastic show!

Glowing Worlds

Yomiuriland Jewellumination

Yomiuriland turns into a “jewellery fantasy” bringing together light, color and “brilliant” music. If originality isn’t enough to get you through the ticket gate, then a sunset or after dark gondola ride from Keio Yomiuriland Station to the theme park’s entrance should be. This is a really beautiful way to view this particular illumination, without the crowds and in some relative peace and quiet, before you get in amongst it. And the view from above is just breathtaking, especially watching the rides in operation under the twinkling night sky.

NOW THROUGH SUN, APR. 9, 2023
