TOKYO —

The curtain rose on Takako Matsu’s first ever solo-lead musical performance on Tuesday, in the stage production of “Jane Eyre” at the Nissay Theater in Yurakucho. Matsu, 32, plays the title role of the strong Jane Eyre as she travels through life and love.

In the show, the actress made her first appearance in a wedding dress, and entertained the audience with 22 songs. Matsu said of the performance, “Both the cast and crew are wonderful, and I hope to do my best in making this story come alive.”

“Jane Eyre” runs through Sept 29.

    Read the book ages ago. One might say it's a Bronte-saurus of a novel.

    Never did finish the book. Read it during boring months, but that didn't last long enough. That and Wuthering Heights, I think.

    she is one of the few decent actresses in japan. pity about the stinker she chose, a combination of one of the most dreadful forms of entertainment combined with one of the most painful authors
