Leah Dizon ready for acting debut in EXILE’s “Words”

Idol Leah Dizon (23) will make her acting debut later this month in a new work by EXILE’s theater project, Gekidan EXILE. Dizon mentioned the play on her blog last month, but more details have now been announced.

The play’s full title is “Words ~Yakusoku/Uragiri~ Subete, Ushinawareshi Mono no Tame…” It is Gekidan EXILE’s third production. It also Dizon’s first major work since she became a mother this past April.

The story takes place in a city in the near future, after World War III. AKIRA plays the main character, whose girlfriend Sasha (played by Dizon) dies during the war but is brought back to life as a cyborg. (The character will have unnatural pronunciation, which is said to fit well for Dizon as she is a non-native speaker of Japanese.) Dizon will also be doing action scenes for the play, as the cyborg Sasha beats up men one after another.

MATSU, Keiko Oginome, and Erina Mizuno are part of the supporting cast. The play will be performed at the Aoyama Theatre in Tokyo from October 29 to November 11, then at the Theater BRAVA! in Osaka from November 20 to 23.
