I recently saw the musical "Pretty Woman" 🕺!
It was a healing experience to be exposed to a different musical than the one I saw last year, and to be reminded of the breadth and depth of its expression 😊✨.

From the moment the curtain rises on "Pretty Woman," you are enveloped in a bright and festive atmosphere that naturally draws you into the world of the story 🌀✨.
Although this work has been familiar to audiences through movies, the live singing and acting, which is only possible on stage, conveyed the characters' emotions more carefully and straightforwardly.

Masaru Shirota, who played Edward, impressed me with his sophisticated appearance and solid presence, and I felt the air change just by being on stage.

The heroine as Vivienne was also very attractive, with a core of strength in her cuteness, and I was impressed by the way she faced her life and tried to move forward 👸🫧.
The process of gradual change in their relationship was depicted with a sense of distance that only the stage can provide, and it was a piece that one could not take one's eyes off of.

I think that one of the major attractions of musicals is that "singing" is expressed in a different way from the way it is conveyed in words.
I love the moment when the entire audience quietly focuses on the song, creating a sense of unity as if they are sharing the same emotion, a feeling that cannot be experienced through video. 🙂‍↕️🌱

After the curtain call, I felt the lingering afterglow for a while after the show, and I felt as if I had been given the courage to do my best in many other ways again.

The musical was the most relaxing time 🙇✨I hope to see many more this year 🙏✨.
