Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon The Super Live is described as a “2.5 Dimensional Musical,” which is what Japan calls live productions that are based on 2D formats like manga. It focuses on the Sailor Scouts and in the Japanese version it’s an entirely female cast including the actor who plays Usagi’s useless love interest Tuxedo Mask! According to reviews online, the show preaches the same message about strong women teaming up, and it includes a lot of incredible overzealous choreography and plenty of fantastic sounding moments like Usagi wearing giant wings and shooting people with a pink light blast called “Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss.” If that’s not enough to sell you on this then we don’t know what is!Whilst details are currently scarce, you can follow the show on Instagram to keep up with the latest Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon The Super Live news!
