Single Act Tickets
A kabuki program is usually made up of several different plays and dances, but at the Kabukiza Theatre and occasionally at other theatres, 'Single Act Seats' are available so that you can watch just one of the acts.
At the Kabukiza Theatre, tickets for the "Upgrade Single Act Seat (2nd level)" and the "Single Act Seat (4th level)" is available. Tickets for each act will be sold both online in advance (Reserved Tickets) and at the Single Act Box Office on the day (Non-reserved Tickets *4th level only).
