Sailor Moon Series Gets New Dinner Theater Show in Tokyo in April 2026

The official X/Twitter account formerly used for the Bishōjo Senshi Sailor Moon -Shining Moon Tokyo- restaurant announced last week that Naoko Takeuchi's Sailor Moon series is inspiring the Sailor Moon: Shining Theater - Shinagawa Tokyo dinner theater show, and it will open in the Shinagawa Prince Hotel's Club eX in Tokyo in April 2026.

The show will feature 10 Sailor Guardians and original drinks. Tickets will go on sale in early 2026 for guests both in and outside Japan.

Go Ueki (Attack on Titan: The Musical) is directing the show and handling the composition. Shinjiro Kameda is writing the script. Wataru Linda Igarashi (Bishōjo Senshi Sailor Moon -Shining Moon Tokyo-) is in charge of theater design.

The Bishōjo Senshi Sailor Moon -Shining Moon Tokyo- restaurant, the previous iteration of the upcoming show, opened in Azabu-jūban, Tokyo in August 2019. The restaurant featured daily original stage shows and food and drinks inspired by the franchise. However, the theater temporarily closed due to COVID-19 in February 2020 before permanently shutting down that August.

Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon The Super Live, a performance show based on Naoko Takeuchi's Sailor Moon manga, debuted with a preview run at AiiA 2.5 Theater Tokyo from August-September 2018, before having performances at the Palais des congrès de Paris that November as part of the Japonismes 2018 event in Paris, France. The show then opened in Washington D.C. and New York in March 2019. It later opened in Taiwan in April 2023.

There were 23 performances in London between February 3-March 19. The show then went on tour in North America starting on March 12 in Pittsburgh, PA. The shows streamed for a limited time on YouTube in North America last August.

The Sailor Moon manga has been adapted for stage before, including a series of musicals that began with Bishōjo Senshi Sailor Moon -La Reconquista- in 2013 to celebrate the manga's 20th anniversary. The fourth of the stage musicals, Bishōjo Senshi Sailor Moon -Le Mouvement Final-, ran in Japan from September to October 2017. The musical's final performance in Osaka, screened in theaters in the United States in March 2018, and also screened in theaters in Canada that April.

The franchise got a stage musical starring members of the Nogizaka46 idol group. The musical ran at The Tennōzu Galaxy Theatre in Tokyo in June 2018, and again at the TBS Akasaka ACT Theater in Tokyo in September 2018. Live Viewing Japan streamed the musical in December 2021.
