Overview
Shiki Theatre Company “Beauty and the Beast” at Maihama Amphitheater is a breathtaking, Broadway-caliber Japanese staging of Disney’s timeless fairy tale by Shiki Theatre Company, Japan’s gold-standard musical theatre troupe since 1953, renowned for lavish sets, intricate puppetry, and multilingual precision that rivals the original. This long-run production enchants audiences from May 2, 2025, to March 14, 2026, at the Maihama Amphitheater in Chiba’s Tokyo Disney Resort-adjacent Urayasu, transforming the enchanted castle with swirling chandeliers, morphing candelabras, and a Beast whose transformation will leave jaws on the floor.

Featuring iconic Alan Menken melodies like “Be Our Guest” and “Beauty and the Beast” sung in Japanese with crystal-clear diction, the ~150-minute spectacle (with intermission) offers matinee (12:30 start, 11:45 doors) and evening (17:00 start, 16:15 doors) performances, complete with Shiki’s signature theatrical magic—think 30+ cast members, flying effects, and a live orchestra.
Lauded on X as “the most gorgeous stage in Japan” and “Disney perfection in Japanese,” this production—now in its umpteenth revival—pairs perfectly with post-show “beautiful hamburgers” at nearby Ikspiari. S1 seats range ¥13,000–¥14,000 (tax incl.), with general sales via Pia open now until ~2 days before each show (e.g., March 12, 2026, 23:59 for March 14 matinee).
The ~2,200-seat Maihama Amphitheater, a Disney-area gem, guarantees immersive acoustics and zero bad views. Book via Shiki’s official channels—this enchanted rose is wilting fast.
Why Attend
- Disney on Stage, Japanese Style: Shiki’s meticulous adaptation fuses Broadway grandeur with Japanese theatrical finesse—puppets, pyrotechnics, and a Beast reveal that rivals the film.
- Maihama Magic: Located steps from Tokyo Disney Resort, pair the show with park thrills, Ikspiari dining (yes, those “beautiful hamburgers”), and seasonal illuminations.
- S1 Seat Splendor: ¥13,000–¥14,000 for prime center-orchestra views—weekends ¥14,000, weekdays ¥13,000—unbeatable for a 2.5-hour fairy-tale escape.
- Family & Date Night Gold: All-ages enchantment with Japanese subtitles for songs; intermission for snacks and castle selfies.
- Urayasu Oasis: Post-show strolls along Tokyo Bay, DisneySea fireworks views, or ramen in Kasai—Maihama is more than just the amphitheater.
