Fans looking to get tickets to the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon The Super Live North American Tour can now get them through presale. Though general sales for these shows starts January 31st there is a special presale taking place now! Fans were invited to leave their name and e-mail address through the English language The Super Live web site. The idea was that this would result in them sending you a special code to participate in the presale from January 27th to the 29th. In reality I did this and I didn’t get any code. That said, the codes are out there so if you’re looking to get tickets you can check out the details on the Sailor Moon Fan Network page for the North American Tour which includes the codes needed for reserving tickets in your closest city. I picked up tickets to a showing in New York City through this method. The codes are usually something like “SAILOR”, “MOON”, “GUARDIAN” or “LUNA”. Also “JULIAN” whatever that’s about…

There have also been two new cities, Hartford, Connecticut and Columbus Ohio, which were recently added to the North American Tour. Will more dates be added to this? It certainly would have been nice to have showings in Toronto or Montreal but now that my tickets have been purchased, it’s a bit late for that!

The cast for the North American Tour has also been announced. The last time there were shows in the US they referred to them as “Team America” though I haven’t seen that term used yet. This may simply be because there has already been a Team America so they would need a different name to distinguish them so we can instead call them Team North American, even though none of the cities where the show is playing are outside of the United States of America.

The main cast are returning actors who were in the Princess Kaguya’s Lover musical in 2021 as well as the 30th Anniversary Music Festival Chronicle from 2022. Reprising their roles are Riko Tanaka as Sailor Moon, Kanon Maekawa as Sailor Mercury, Rei Kobayashi as Sailor Mars, Kisara Matsumura as Sailor Jupiter and Marin Makino as Sailor Venus.

Sayako Okamura will be playing Queen Beryl. She previously played Princess Snow Kaguya in the last two musicals, as Queen Beryl wasn’t in those stories.

Riona Tatemichi will play Tuxedo Mask, reprising her role from previous performances of The Super Live and the 30th Anniversary Musical Festival Chronicle. She’s played many roles in past musicals including Rubeus in Petite Étrangère, Hawk’s Eye in Amour Eternal and Taiki, Sailor Star Maker, in Le Mouvement Final.

Luna will once again be a puppet who will be controlled by puppeteer Misato Matsumoto who portrayed her in a number of the Nogizaka46 musicals.

The cast will include dancers who portray monsters including Ayano Nagasawa and Ayumi Sagisaka who were in the Amour Eternal, Le Movement Final, Princess Kaguya’s Lover and 30th Anniversary Music Festival Chronicle, Minami Watanabe who was in the Nogizaka46 musical and newcomer Kana Yanagihara.
