Maho Tomita takes over for Sayaka Kanda 2 days before play's
opening on anime's 30th anniversary
The story is set in 2062, five decades after the Space War I
conflict seen in the first Macross story. Macross 29 is the 29th New Macross
Class colonization fleet to leave Earth in the aftermath of that devastating
war. People who were once scarred by war now live a tranquil, oasis-like
existence.
However, the fleet has hardly any military strength due to
pacifism, and its economy is on the brink of collapse. Due to the high
unemployment rate in the urban areas, a Neo Zentran movement that advocates a
renewed military has been gaining steam, especially among the young alien
Zentradi.
A "Miss Macross Contest" has been launched as part
of the economic recovery plan among Macross 29 citizens. Lives converge at the
event when two youths named Ash and Sakura spot Vigo, a young Neo Zentran
leader, in the distance.
Actress/singer Maho Tomita (Cat God's Akane Shinozaki,
Kamichu! opening theme) took over the role of Charlotte Marion-Glass. The
musical's staff apologized since refunds will not be offered for tickets.
On Tuesday, Kanda wrote a personal apology on the website
for leaving her role due to poor health. Fantic, Kanda and Matsuda's agency,
then explained on the same day that Kanda has to recuperate from acute
gastroenteritis.
Earlier, Yūsuke Hirose replaced Takuya Kikuchi as the young
Neo Zentran leader Vigo Walgria.
