September Program at the Kabukiza Theatre: Evening Show (September 2026)

The Shuzansai Evening Show, seen from a hanamichi seat near the agemaku curtain. Nizaemon's Numazu brought tears, Tokizō's Kyo Ningyo brought laughs, and I found a new thing to watch for: the shosadai. Plus the saga of my dinner-less evening.

September Program at the Kabukiza Theatre: Matinee (September 2026)

I came for Danko, but Tatsunosuke’s female role stole my eyes again. Kikugoro’s Ofude in a scene unseen at the Kabukiza for 58 years, the "root of it all" in Sakaro, and an interval lunch crisis — all from my seat by the hanamichi.

September Program at the Kabukiza Theatre: Single Act Tickets (September 2025)

A free afternoon appeared out of nowhere, so I booked a Single Act Ticket online the night before and popped in for just one act, Kamo Zutsumi.
