The musical Jack the Ripper returns to Japanese stages starting Thursday, December 17, 2026, running at Saitama Arts Theater Main Hall from December 17 to 21, 2026, and at Shinjuku Cultural Center Main Hall from January 29 to February 7, 2027. Tickets range from 8,000 to 16,000 yen depending on seat tier. Official resale via Tixepla Trade opened Wednesday, October 7, 2026.
The revival arrives five years after the musical's first Japanese production in 2021, with Akira Shirai returning as director. The story is set in London in 1888 and centers on Daniel, a young surgeon from America, and Gloria, a prostitute, alongside Detective Anderson and the killer himself.
Prices differ by city: Saitama seats run 8,000 to 15,000 yen, while Tokyo adds an SS tier at 16,000 yen and a 14,500 yen S seat with an acrylic panel on the handrail in view. Resale applications close at 11:59 on the day before each performance, or five days before for paper tickets.
