When we decided to try going to the Kabuki Theater, I have to admit that I was a little nervous about the language barrier. The show was amazing! We waited in line for over an hour to catch one act (we did not have reserved seating). When we got inside, we sat down in very tiny seats, anyone with long legs or over 5’10” would have a problem. The music was beautiful and the make up and costumes were precise and colorful. The funniest thing about Kabuki theater is that they are a bit “cheesy”. They have a man dressed in all black from head to toe moving props around while everyone is on stage. They also are very humorous when it comes to fighting scenes. For example, when two characters are fighting and one strikes the other, there is fake injuries which is something that we are not used to seeing these days considering today’s advanced technology. Overall, I recommend catching a show. It was an experience of a lifetime.
