I've been there!
The new Kabukiza Theater's persimmon roof performance, and it's the first day of April 2!
Although I had been selling tickets early on, I missed the time while I was wondering which one to look at with a variety of performances and almost gave up.
However, in the case of the "Ichikumi Seat" on the 4th floor, which is sold only on the day, I was hoping that if it was a little calm after the middle day, it would be something to do if it was arranged.
Nevertheless, as expected, I gave up that the first day would be impossible, but on the way home after completing an errand in the morning, when I stopped at the ticket counter at the first stage, if it was three parts at 6:00, I could buy it if I lined up for about an hour and a half!
There is no way to see this, and immediately at the end of the line.
When I was talking about Kabuki with the person in charge and those who lined up before and after, it took time in no time. (When the lights were lit up at 5:30, it was a great applause.)
By the way, "Ichimaku Viewing Seat" is a dedicated seat on the 4th floor where only one of the performances with several acts can be seen.
The price varies depending on the curtain, but it is cheaper than the cheapest B seat on the third floor.
It is a bit disappointing that there is a partition so that it does not get stuck in a normal seat, as it is replaced every time the curtain changes, and it is not possible to go to the cafeteria, shop, lobby, etc.
In the April performance, the third part has two acts, "Moritsuna Jinya" and "Kanjincho", so it will be replaced when "Moritsuna Jinya" is over. (However, when you buy a ticket, you can also buy the "Kanjin Book" together, so if you buy both, you can stay there.)
Unlike other plays, the current Kabuki performances rarely perform one story from the beginning to the end, and take up a famous act of different stories to become independent, and combine them into one performance. There are many ways to do it.
Of course, it is certain that those who know all the stories will deepen their understanding, but just one act there will be enough stories and you can enjoy it with a showroom.
When I was a student, I had to manage it with a small amount of pocket money, and I was very much taken care of this "Ichibakumi seat".
At that time, there were only steep staircases, and it was unreserved, so I ran up at once with a good seat.
However, in the next building, there is an elevator as soon as you enter from the dedicated entrance, so you can easily go to the 4th floor, and after all you realize the newness.
What made me even more happy was that I could see the flower path that I couldn't see before!
"I can see the flower path" is very important, and in Kabuki, the main characters appear and pull in from the flower path, but on the way I always say lines and perform.
At the first glance seat on the 4th floor before, I only heard the sound and imagined it, but in the new theater, I was very impressed to see Benkei's pull in Hirokukata properly.
Of course, Kabukiza is like a theme park with the entire theater, eating, walking in the lobby, buying things that can only be bought at the shop, and seeing furnishings, decorations, and decorations. It is also a great pleasure to see.
I'd like to do my best this time and get the advance ticket.
