The dress rehearsal report details character movements, songs like Dawn, and the Monkey Cage prison setting.
The stage adaptation of 18TRIP opened at KAAT Kanagawa Arts Theatre on August 25, 2026, with a production split into two acts. Act 1 centers on the morning team R1ze, including the five members who work under HAMA Tours manager Hiroshi Daniel Iwabuchi. Act 2 shifts to the prison island Monkey Cage, where Tao Kinouchi and the other four members of Ev3ns perform as prisoner idols.
The dress rehearsal highlighted how the stage format adds to the game. A scene where Kaede runs through HAMA to find Fuka shows movement the game cannot convey, and the live performance of the opening theme Dawn was a draw for original fans.
