Amazingly, there’s already a fifth musical on the way to continue adapting Ryosuke Takeuchi and Hikaru Miyoshi’s Moriarty the Patriot manga, and the official website recently went live with some fresh visuals. In addition to an overall key visual, a series of character visuals have been put together to highlight the cast for the performances, which are scheduled to be held at Osaka’s Mielparque Hall from August 24-27 and Tokyo’s Galaxy Theatre from September 1-10.
Here’s the full visual:

VIZ Media publishes the Moriarty the Patriot manga in English and sums up the story like so:
In the late 19th century, Great Britain rules over a quarter of the world. Nobles sit in their fancy homes in comfort and luxury, while the working class slaves away at their jobs. When young Albert James Moriarty’s upper-class family adopts two lower-class orphans, the cruelty the boys experience at his family’s hands cements Albert’s hatred of the nobility he was born into. He asks the older of the two boys—who has a genius mind and a killer instinct—to help him rid the world of evil, starting with Albert’s own family!
