Main Visual for Dandadan Stage Play Released, Rotating Events Coming
Hello, Dandadan fans! The anticipated news has arrived: The main visual for the stage adaptation of Dandadan, 'Dandadan ~Occultic Stage~', has finally been revealed. The visual features the team of main characters, reflecting the gothic and energetic atmosphere of the stage. Although the play date has not been finalized yet, this visual indicates that the production has officially begun.
According to information shared by Japanese news site Natalie, the play will also feature rotating events. In particular, under the concept called character send-offs, different characters will see off the audience after each performance. Such events are a popular practice that enriches the audience experience in stage plays. So a fan attending each show can experience a different farewell moment.
Let's recall: Dandadan is a manga that has been published on Shonen Jump+ since 2021, blending horror and comedy. Author Yukinobu Tatsu previously worked as an assistant on Chainsaw Man and quickly built a large fanbase with his unique style. The series' anime adaptation will also be released soon — the anime, produced by Science SARU studio, was announced in summer 2024 and is currently in production. This stage play is an exciting step to bring the manga's wild atmosphere to the stage.
Seeing the manga's bizarre world on stage, especially watching the physical comedy of characters like Turbo Granny and Okarun live, will be a great experience. Although the cast has not yet been announced, the poster in the main visual showcases the characters' iconic poses. This show, which will faithfully carry the energy of Dandadan, is an unmissable opportunity for both manga readers and new viewers.
More details about ticket sales and the play schedule are expected in the coming days. If you too want to experience the unique chaos of Dandadan on a live stage, don't forget to follow Japanese theater events. We hope this adaptation best reflects the spirit of the manga and perhaps reaches other countries in the future!
