Ryoko Yonekura & Yu Shirota
Collaborating on-stage for the first time and a collaborative produce project
SHOWTIME to be held in June in Tokyo!
The two renown, top-talented artists- Ryoko Yonekura and Yu Shirota will collaborate for the first time ever in a new entertainment show SHOWTIME! The two artists will take an equal role in producing the piece as well.
The two already had one thing in common – they had both appeared in the late Bob Fosse choreographed shows. Ryoko with CHICAGO, and Yu starred in PIPPIN-the Japanese Version-in 2019. In the new piece, we will get to hear selections from both CHICAGO, PIPPIN, and Cabaret -all those created by Bob Fosse, including many other musical hits which will be selected by Ryoko and Yu.
Ryoko and Yu will produce, direct, and appear in this show. Kenya Osumi will be choreographing, while Win Morisaki, JKim will appear, with special guest appearance will be made by Mie Nakao and Beverly Maeda. The troup will be 33 altogether including the dancers and musicians.
We are proud to say that it is the right time to present this show and deliver the excitement of all the presenters involved for a packed SHOWTIME.
