The Tokyu Group is holding its 11th Tokyu Musical Program, offering high-quality cultural experiences to junior and senior high school students who will shape the future. They are inviting 800 pairs (1600 people) of junior and senior high school students and their companions free of charge to a special performance starting at 1:00 PM on Saturday, July 25th. The venue is the Tokyu Theatre Orb, a theater dedicated to musicals located on the 11th floor of Shibuya Hikarie.

This program is an initiative that the Tokyu Group has been implementing since 2012 with the aim of providing young people who will lead the next generation with the opportunity to experience authentic performing arts. It inherits the philosophy of the Tokyu Group's cultural business, which has been responsible for disseminating culture in Shibuya since the opening of "Tokyu Kaikan (Toyoko Theater)" and "Tokyu Bunka Kaikan" in the 1950s, and has introduced the charm of musicals to many junior and senior high school students.

This year's 11th edition will feature "Sunset Boulevard," a masterpiece by Andrew Lloyd Webber, one of the leading composers in the musical world. Based on the 1950 film of the same name, it is one of Webber's most representative works, also known for "The Phantom of the Opera," and has been performed all over the world.

The performance will be presented in English by the visiting company, with live music and Japanese subtitles. You can experience the power of an authentic Broadway musical and also have an opportunity to become more familiar with the English language.

We hope that this experience will be the first step in opening new doors."
