The first play, Hamatora The Stage: -Crossing Time-, ran from August 16 to 24 with 12 public performances at the Haiyūza Theater Roppongi in Tokyo. A DVD will go on sale on February 27. Below is the opening number "Incomplete world":

Shungo Takasaki as Ratio
Ran Sakai as Koneko
Kanai Yūsuke as Gasuke
Toshihiko Tanaka as Mao

The story of the first play tied into the earlier manga and anime:
2014, Yokohama.
Troubleshooter of Hamatora Nice gets a call on his cell phone at Cafe Nowhere: "A murder by gun will happen in Yokohama. I want to borrow your group's help." A mysterious request from the police superintendent Art. At the same time, many other strange things begin to occur, including a disgusting delivery through the mail, the appearance of a strange adult, disappearing money, a test of strength, a stomach that won't stop growling, and a dashing Murasaki.When the pieces that were scattered come together, the team will arrive at one man. The curtain opens on the real-time non-stop mystery/action story where the keyword is "two more hours!"
The production company Eigeki put together the first Hamatora play after working on Super Musical Saint Seiya, the Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion stage play, and Lucky Star ≒ On Stage. It is also running the second play.
The second anime series, Re:␣Hamatora (Reply Hamatora), streamed on Crunchyroll as it aired in Japan last summer.
