“Sing on Tour” is a new, permanent live show inspired by the joyous jukebox of a film, “Sing.” The musical talent contest takes center stage again at Universal Studios Japan in a brand-new theater, jointly designed with the movie’s producers Illumination.
Teruyoshi Uchimura, voice-over actor from the Japanese version of the movie, returns to reprise his role as theater manager Buster Moon for “Sing on Tour.” This time, the animated stars will step out of the screen onto the stage to belt out some of the movie’s best songs in real life.
“Sing” topped the box office in Japan in 2017, bringing in 5 billion yen. A much-anticipated sequel to the hit movie, written and directed by Garth Jennings, is in the pipeline for 2021.
