— the "beginning of the end" of a revue or 2-act musical. The etoile is most often a solo sung by a musumeyaku but may be performed by an otokoyaku in some cases. Also, as this list shows, the etoile is not exclusively a solo — it can also be a duet or performed by a small group of stars.
A star chosen to sing an etoile is often a talented and prominent singer within the troupe — some musumeyaku with strong voices may be chosen to sing an etoile even when they are underclassmen. Sometimes, however, the etoile is used to feature a star who is retiring in that performance.
The below list currently features tour / small theater etoiles only. For Grand Theater / Tokyo Theater performances, please see
