[mobius017]

Well this is interesting. Has anyone else heard about it? Apparently there's a collaboration going on where Miku joins Kabuki actor Nakamura Shido in a Kabuki theater program.

Shows run 8/2 to 8/26. Maybe some Mirai-goers will want to take this in, too?

Yeah, I've seen clips from past years' performances. I think Miku has performed in Cho Kabuki on two or three previous years.

It might be interesting to watch, but in the end I don't know how much I would understand (though I've heard that sometimes in Kabuki theatres you can rent a headset with English audio) and tbh without understanding what's going on in the play I'd probably get bored.
