Following last weekend’s release of the video of the London performance of the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon The Super Live Musical fans are able to watch the North American performance of the musical for free on the official Sailor Moon YouTube Channel until August 10th. You can watch it through this link or in the embedded video below.

According to an Instagram Story on the official Sailor Moon The Super Live Instagram account, this is one of the New York shows. That was where I saw the musical in April, though there were a number of shows at that venue so I’m not sure which one this is.

Fans of the musical looking to see it in person can now order tickets to shows in Japan. The musical will be playing at the Sunshine Theatre in Tokyo from October 9th to the 13th.

Fans looking to see the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon The Super Live Musical finally have the opportunity to watch it on video for free for a short time. This musical, previously unavailable for purchase or stream, can be viewed on YouTube for a limited time. First we have the London 2025 version of the musical which is available from August 1st to the 3rd. Next weekend we will have a video of the North American Tour which will be available from August 8th to the 10th. You can watch the London show by following this link or in the embedded video below.

This is particularly welcome news to me as I have streamed or watched all of the recent musicals but The Super Live was never made available. I was lucky enough to have finally watched a performance from the North American Tour in New York City in April of this year. This is a chance for fans that weren’t able to attend any showings in that tour in person to finally see it!

The musical, like a few others before it, covers the Dark Kingdom arc from the Sailor Moon manga. It makes use of impressive props and effects to create a different type of audio visual experience than is seen in some other musicals. I wasn’t sure what this meant when I heard the effects driven musical described years ago but now that I’ve seen the musical I finally get it. Check it out for yourself to see what this musical is about!

How did you like this musical?

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.

Have you gotten tickets to any shows yet?

Great news for North American Sailor Moon fans! The Sailor Moon Official Site has posted dates for North American shows of the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon The Super Live musical. This follows a recent announcement of performances of the same musical in London, England from February 4th to March 19th. There are shows on 19 days in 18 cities in the United States of America. Specific dates and cities are listed below:

Fans who are interested in purchasing tickets can go to the English language Sailor Moon The Super Live web site to leave their contact information and to visit the sites of individual venues hosting showings. It seems at this point that most tickets will be going on sale January 31st.

Though this is being advertised as a “North American” tour the cities which have been announced are all in the United States. Still, many Canadians are likely closer to some of these major cities than some Americans are. I’d be looking at an 8 to 9 hour drive to get to some of these.

The Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon The Super Live musical has been around for years. It first played in Japan back in 2018 and even had a few showings in North America in early 2019. It is the only one of the newer musicals which was never released on home video and so it’s the only one to come out in the past 12 years that I haven’t seen yet. Let’s hope that changes soon!

Do you plan on attending any of these showings? What’s the closest city to you where that you could go to?
