The official website for the upcoming stage musical based on Leiji Matsumoto’s Galaxy Express 999 manga and anime franchise announced on Wednesday that the staff is looking at possible “adjustments” to the musical in light of the recent passing of singer Sayaka Kanda, who was slated to play a leading role as Maetel in the musical.
The staff will announce more details regarding the Maetel role at a later date.
Akinori Nakagawa is reprising his role as Tetsurō Hoshino from the manga’s previous stage play adaptations in 2018 and 2019.
The stage musical will incorporate some new story content to create a “complete” story.
