A pamphlet for the upcoming Sailor Moon Musical Un Nouveau Voyage or A New Journey has been posted to the official Sailor Moon site. This update includes images of the previously unseen Professor Tomoe and Kaolinite. We also found a picture of 5 of the Witches 5, Mimete, Eudial, Viluy, Tellu and Cyprine. There are actually 6 members in the Witches 5. Did we leave one out on the assumption that Japanese children can count? Ptilol is has not been revealed at this time though since she’s just a mirror image of Cyprene with red instead of blue hair and clothes I’ve put together this approximation of what she might look like. This is absolutely not a real image of Ptilol, just a silly image edit I made.
The newly revealed cast members are the following:
Yuki Kaon as Professor Tomoe
Kei Ohgi as Kaolinite
Ayaka Ida as Mimete
Saya Chinen as Eudial
Yui Hasegawa as Viluy
Momoko Sadachi as Tellu
Maana as Cyprine
Since this musical continues to use an all female cast Professor Tomoe is portrayed by a woman.

Hasn’t Ptilol been absent from other musicals?
It’s been 25 episodes of Sailor Moon Crystal, and Sailor Moon or her friends still didn’t hold anyone in their arms.
I saw the Mugen Gakuen Kaiteban (I think that’s what it was called) and I don’t remember Ptilol being in it, however it has been a while since I saw it so someone can correct me if she was.
How do you pronounce Ptilol’s name? I don’t remember if the old dub changed her name and if they didn’t I don’t remember how they said it.
I never heard it pronounced neither, but I’d say you can try with the French pronunciation if you find it’s a good one. Basically, to make it in English, you have to replace the “i” by a double “e” (or a simple “e”) and pronounce her name “Pteelol”.
In French, small = petit (the “t” is completely mute), that we often transform into “p’tit” by elision. That’s why Ptilol sounds like a wordplay to my ears : “p’tit lol” (“small lol”) ;p .
I find the villains amazing ! Tomoe, Kaolinite, the Witches 5… All of them look great !
Especially Kaolinite. I understand that they wanted to take a woman for Tomoe, since the rest of the cast is composed by females, but since Tomoe isn’t a bishonen in the manga, it’s a little weird.
Btw Adam, your photo editing of Cyprene as Ptilol looks real. Great job ^^ !
And where’s Mistress 9? I wonder if Karin Takahashi will be playing her?
