World Masterpiece Theater classic Romeo’s Blue Skies will be getting a stage musical adaptation this spring!

The 1995 series, also known as Romeo and the Black Brothers, is based on the 1941 novel Die schwarzen Brüder by Lisa Tetzner. The story revolves around Romeo and Alfredo, a pair of boys bought and sold as chimney sweeps, who form a fraternity of fellow sweeps called the Black Brothers to protect each other. The anime has been in the spotlight over the last couple of years, since it became the flagship title for the new World Masterpiece Nostalgia goods brand.

A website has been launched for the show, as well as a Twitter account and a YouTube channel. Auditions are now open for the show, with roles to be announced later.

Moriarty the Patriot stage play director Hideyuki Nishimori will direct, based on a script penned by Chong Gwangsong (Hell Girl stage play). Shunsuke Wada, who composed the music for the My Hero Academia and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba stage musicals, will handle the score.

Romeo’s Blue Skies ~The Musical~ will be performed at Ikebukuro’s Brilla HALL March 30 - April 3, 2022.
