This September will mark the first stage play inspired by the popular classic thief manga, “Cat's Eye.” The play will star members of idol groups Berryz Kobo and C-ute. The announcement was made at Comic Zenon magazine for Gekidan Geki-Hello's 12th production.
Berryz Kobo idols Saki Shimizu, Maasa Sudou, Yurina Kumai, and Risako Sugaya will star the first cast while C-ute's Maimi Yajima, Saki Nakajima, and Mai Hagiwara headlines the second cast. The idols will play the same roles in two versions of the play. It will be produced by Andrew Tamon Niwa on behalf of the satellite and cable channel BS-TBS.
The play will run from September 22 to September 30 at Tokyo's Ikebukuro Sunshine Theater, followed by a October 13-14 run at the Osaka Ion Cosmetics Theater Brava! stage.
Cat's Eye follows the story of three beautiful Kisugi sisters — Rui, Hitomi and Ai — who run a café with the same name. The sisters lead a double life as a trio of highly skilled art thieves, leaving razor-thin "Cat's Eye" calling cards at the scenes of their crimes.
