Hello all-- I know this is not a usual topic of discussion here, but I have been advised that this forum is a good method to get word out to the local English-speaking expatriate community, so here goes. The HAJET Hokkaido Players are coming to Kutchan to perform a musical based on the classic tale of Aladdin, from the 1,001 Arabian Nights. Most of the script and such is in English, but there are Japanese lines and songs throughout, as well as Japanese narration for each scene, so anyone can come and enjoy the show. All profits are donated to the Hokkaido English Challenge. DETAILS Location: Kutchan Kouminkan (Bunka Fukushi Centre) Date: Saturday, 17 April Time: doors open 16:30, performance at 17:00 Adults ¥1000, children (elementary and junior high school students) free [url]http://www.hajet.org/musical/[/url] If you want to ask anything about the group or the show, just reply and I will get back to you here. Yoroshiku!

An update from the musical-- we've just come off two successful performances in Utashinai and Mikasa in the past few weeks, and are now getting ready for our third, at Kutchan Kouminkan (in the Bunka Fukushi Centre, near town hall) this Saturday evening. The Japanese-savvy may have already seen our write-up in the Hokkaido Shimbun, but if not, here's a link with a picture:

Yes, the set and costumes are all hand-made by our members, and we've been trucking everything across Hokkaido between shows. Kutchan is our last performance, so we're looking forward to a finishing our run with great send-off here. Hope to see you Saturday evening-- come enjoy a mostly-English slapstick musical to benefit the Hokkaido English Challenge!

I'm not having much luck with that web link other than finding out that hajet.com is for sale. Can you please rub your magic lamp and give us the correct website address?

Hah, sorry about that. It should be .org, not .com. Here's the real address:
