Yabu Kota has been selected to star in a musical for the winter season. The musical is She Loves Me, which is an American musical that has been around since the 1960s, and the American movie You've Got Mail is an adaption of the musical. Yabu will be playing the lead, Georg, in what will be his first solo starring role. And the play will run from December 12th to January 31st, Yabu's 20th birthday.
Fellow Johnny's that will be a part of the play are A.B.C. (so no Hashimoto Ryosuke) as they will play two characters, with two members sharing a role. Most likely they will trade off from performance to performance. Also, Yabu will have the support of stage veterens, Higashiyama Noriyuki, who will playing a role himself, and Nishikiori Kazukiyo, who will be directing the musical, from Shounentai.
For those curious about what the muscial is about the wikipedia entry has a plot synopsis that you can read.
