So I think we can all agree that there will be a fifth musical this year based on the Stars arc. But what about after that?
Will there be another musical next year (and the year after that, etc)?
If so, will they go back to the beginning and adapt the manga all over again?
Will they do story mash-ups?
Will they remake the Kaguya Island musicals? The Dracul arc musicals?
Will they do totally brand new stories?
Will they do musicals based on the side stories (namely Snow Princess Kaguya)?
Will they do a Sailor V musical (featuring all of the Sailors, of course)?
Will Yuga stay on in the role of Tuxedo Kamen or will she leave? If she leaves, will the musicals continue to have all-female casts, or will they start casting men again?
What do you guys think? What do you want to see happen with the musicals? Should they keep going or stop? Stay all-female or not? What would you like to see them do story-wise? Character-wise?
Personally, I hope they continue. Even if I've found the past few a bit lackluster, I still always enjoy them. (I just want them to start putting out CDs again! At least digital releases of cast recordings!) I do hope the Stars musical will be Yuga's last (I know people love her, but she was really mediocre in UNV and AE so, in my opinion, it's time for her to go) and, while the all-female cast thing was a really fun concept, I think if the musicals continue, they should go back to hiring men and women. (Or at least hire someone who's around Usagi's actress's age to play Mamoru. The obvious age difference between Yuga and Satomi/Hotaru is a big part of why I feel the ~miracle romance~ in the musicals has fallen flat for me.)
As I mentioned in the Amour Eternal thread, I'd love if the sixth musical were a Black Moon / Dead Moon Circus mash-up featuring the Ayakashi Sisters and Amazones Quartet since both groups were omitted from their respective musicals. Perhaps the Ayakashi Sisters show up looking to avenge the rest of their Clan and, knowing Chibiusa was in part responsible for their demise, manipulate her future guardians into attacking her?
If/when the current group of Inners "graduates" and is recast, I wouldn't mind their doing a redux of the Dark Kingdom arc showing how the girls first met up and awakened as Sailors and how Usagi and Mamoru met since all of that was glossed over in "La Reconquista."
I'd also love to see some supporting characters (e.g. Naru, Umino, and Motoki) in a musical for once! I think the only supporting character to appear in a musical was Ms. Haruna way back in the very first musical. Naru, Umino, and Motoki were important characters in the 90s anime and manga (and, sans Umino, the live action show), so I think it's high time they appeared in a musical.
