The show will run at the Takarazuka Grand Theater from June 7 - July 20, and at the Tokyo Takarazuka Theater from August 16 - September 28. The show will have an original story.
Kei Suzuki (Takarazuka's Sengoku Basara musical) will direct and pen the script. Sena Towaki and Misaki Hoshizora will appear in the play.
The troupe previously adapted Square Enix's Final Fantasy XVI game in May.
