Yoshizawa, Ishikawa co-star in manga-to-stage adaptation

Former Morning Musume members Hitomi Yoshizawa and Rika Ishikawa have been cast as co-stars in the upcoming stage production "Tokyo Alice."

The play is based on the popular josei manga of the same name by Toriko Chiya, currently being serialized in Kodansha's magazine Kiss. The story portrays the everyday lives of two OLs with different personalities. Ishikawa's character is an impulsive shopper, while Yoshikawa's character is the daughter of a well-to-do family. The cast also includes actress Sayaka Yoshino playing the part of a fortune teller, a character not found in the manga.

Rehearsals started on Thursday. Performances will be held at Tokyo's Space Zero from May 8 to May 17.
