Tiger & Bunny the Live will run at Tokyo's Zepp Diver City theater from August 24 to September 1. (The theater is at the same complex as the life-size Gundam and mini Gundam theme park. According to the official website, the play aims to have realistic action in hero "suits," an original story, and the latest techniques in theatrical productions.
Anime scriptwriter Yasuko Kobayashi (Shakugan no Shana, Trigun: Badlands Rumble) and playwright Tadahiro Mōri are co-writing the play. Taisuke Morisaki is serving as chief director, while Morihito Kamizato is the actual hands-on director. Osamu Kaneda, a director of many Kamen Rider projects, is an "acting creator."
