Tickets are almost entirely sold out, so for fans who haven\u2019t already secured theirs, they\u2019re going to be hard to come by.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, though, it\u2019s been announced that the Princess Mononoke stage play will be coming to online streaming, but it\u2019s still something that fans will need to clear out a spot on their calendar for.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u25bc A preview video for the Princess Mononoke kabuki play, showing Dango Ichikawa as Ashitaka, Kazutaro Nakamura as San, Manju Nakamura as Lady Eboshi, and a number of other human and creature characters from the Ghibli classic.<\/p>\n<p>A live-stream will be shown of the final Princess Mononoke performance, the curtain for which will open at 4 p.m. on August 23. Access to the stream is priced at 4,800 yen (US$30), which is more expensive than the absolute cheapest theater tickets for the performance (3,000 yen), but still quite a bit under the second-lowest-priced seat (6,500 yen).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u25bc Another preview video, showing off the kodama forest spirits and some very cool practical effects.<\/p>\n<p>Especially if you\u2019re planning to watch the stream together with a group of friends, it shouldn\u2019t shatter your budget, and if you\u2019re willing to shell out a little more, there\u2019s also a 5,500-yen streaming package that includes a documentary with six months of behind-the-scenes footage chronicling the challenges the cast and crew faced and overcame in bringing one of anime\u2019s most visually distinctive works into the real world.<\/p>\n<p>The stream will be available on Rakuten, Hulu, Kabuki on Demand, and E Plus\/Streaming Plus (links below).<\/p>\n<p>Related: Princess Mononoke kabuki streaming on <a href=\"https:\/\/live.tv.rakuten.co.jp\/content\/541919\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rakuten<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hulu.jp\/store\/super-kabuki-princess-mononoke\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hulu<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/kabukiondemand-japan.stores.play.jp\/lives\/0fd22439-a9e0-4af9-b51b-d556b497bb0b\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kabuki on Demand<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/eplus.jp\/sf\/detail\/4525840005?P6=001&amp;P1=0402&amp;P59=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">E Streaming<\/a><br \/>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/mononoke-kabuki.jp\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Princess Mononoke kabuki official website<\/a><br \/>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/mononoke-kabuki.jp\/news\/372\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Princess Mononoke kabuki official website<\/a><br \/>Top image: <a href=\"https:\/\/mononoke-kabuki.jp\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Princess Mononoke kabuki official website<\/a><br \/>\u25cf Want to hear about SoraNews24\u2019s latest articles as soon as they\u2019re published? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RocketNews24En\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Follow us on Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RocketNews24En\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kabuki adaptation of Studio Ghibli anime masterpiece will be shown online, but you\u2019ll need to mark the date&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":571085,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[146,85,46,397],"class_list":["post-571084","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=571084"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571084\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/571085"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=571084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=571084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=571084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
