Interesting choice. I hope it is successful.

Can’t wait to see the third act where alucard gets stun locked by gold Medusa heads in the clocktower

And thus a piece of Eastern European folklore that was popularized in a novel by a Irish writer and then spread via mostly American movies became a Japanese video game series now at least partially developed in Spain and begets a play acted by Japanese female actors.

Can’t wait for this scene to happen.

I honestly think this makes a pretty good fit.

Castlevania’s flashy, ornate aesthetic and over-the-top dramatics could transition nicely to the stage.

Like, imagine the WHAT IS A MAN monologue being belted out from centerstage under a spotlight and accompanied by organ music.

It’s an amazing fit for Takarazuka. I’d absolutely be going if I were still in the area.
