Also this isn’t the first the version of Romeo et Juliette has been performed in Japan. The did a 2010 version  and  The world famous Takarazuka troupe did a version of it. The Takarazua is an all female  musical troupe. It probadly won’t happen but I can’t help but to hope that they will perform a version of Notre Dame de Paris.
