Footnotes:
- Top star Rei Makoto was absent from the Tokyo run of 1789: The Lovers of Bastille from 08/19 - 08/23 due to illness, resulting in a chain of understudy role changes. Amahana Ema covered Akatsuki Chisei's role of Camille Desmoulins, and Aomi Sario understudied her role of Georges Jacques Danton.
