The play has been given the title “Visualive ‘Persona 4’”. The visualive part of the title refers to the combination of live entertainment performances and special effects and video footage. Voice actor Asanuma Shintaro (Ghost Hound, The Tatami Galaxy) is writing and directing, Wada Shunsuke is in charge of the music and Oku Shutaro is in charge of the video footage that will be used in the play. Cast members announced on the website so far include:

Baba Toru as the protagonist (name changes each day based on fan submissions)

Maeyama Takahisa as Hanamura Yosuke

Tsukui Minami as Satonaka Chie

Will it ever be able to live up to the PW musical though? Speaking of which can anyone find those vids on youtube, I can't find them anymore.
 
Yeah, Digital Devil Saga was great.....but...I wouldn't entirely be against a DDS stage musical....

And to be honest a main SMT series stage musical may be our only chance of even getting a new one at this rate.
