Broadway Needs More Giant Robots.

Why can’t all live theater be like Japanese live theater?  I mean, seriously, over there they’ve Takashi Miike doing stage adaptations of Zatoichi, someone did a full on live musical version of popular manga / anime Bleach and now Ghost in the Shell director Mamoru Oshii has written and is directing a live stage adaptation of the original Tetsujin 28 manga.  Japan gets Mamoru Oshii and giant robots.  We get Jersey Boys.  Japan wins, in my book.

    Not while we (if you mean the West in general) have Kneehigh Theatre – the Ghibli of the stage – adapting Angela Carter (though they did bring Rapunzel – my other favourite of their shows which I’ve experienced – as far as New York). And Told by an Idiot, while not on their level (judging from, admittedly, the little experience I’ve had of their productions), are inspiring in a similar-but-just-different-enough-to-be-refreshing-for-that way.
