"Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon" The Super Live marks the first time a 2.5D Musical will be on an American stage. 2.5D Musicals, which began around 2000, are based on popular contemporary Japanese culture: manga comics, anime and video games. Manga and animation are in 2D, and live theatre is in 3D. Therefore, they call performances based on manga and animations 2.5D. A theatre has been built in Japan to house this popular new form of entertainment.

"At its core, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon is about strong girlfriends banding together to fight for what they believe in...that's timely," said producer Takaharu Uera. "Sailor Moon and her Sailor Guardians are equipped with powers that help them defeat evil and the characters are imbued with the self-determination to make their own confident decisions. In short, they are the ultimate example of 'girl power.' We look forward to introducing American audiences to Sailor Moon, her Guardians and the 2.5D Musical experience."
