The ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' musicals, commonly referred to as ''[[Sera Myu]]'', are a series of live theater productions based on Naoko Takeuchi's metaseries Sailor Moon. The series consists of 2931 musicals as of 2021, which have had more than 800 performances since the show first opened in Summer 1993. The producers generally follow and expand upon plot concepts presented in the anime and manga; however, there are also several plot lines original to the plays. New musicals were generally first preformed in the summer; a revised version of the summer play (the ''Kaiteiban'') was performed in the winter.
 
The plays officially went on indefinite hiatus in 2005, and while all the recorded plays are available on DVD and VHS (not all the plays were recorded - some of the earlier plays never were), they are nevertheless pricey and are only officially available in Japan. Some fans who do have their own copies have thankfully [[Keep Circulating the Tapes|subbed the shows]] for the unfortunate ones who can't buy their own.
 
A new series of Musicals began on 2013 under a new production company, in order to go with the 20th Anniversary of the manga. It lasted from 2013 to 2017, covering all five manga arcs. After that, there were two musicals featuring members of the girl group Nogizaka46, who were the musicals on stage in 2018 and 2019. A new musical was announced for 2021.

Additionally, ''Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon The Super Live'' opened at the Playstation Theatre on Times Square in New York on March 29, 2019, and appears to be a [[Spiritual Successor]] to the ''Sera Myu'' if it is not an actual instance thereof.
 
The 1993 to 2005 musicals are divided into "Stages" though the division varies between official and fan listings. Officially there are 3 stages. Once the entire senshi cast left, the next started. Fans however, divide it based on which of the four actresses is playing Sailor Moon at the time, Anza Ōyama, Fumina Hara, Miyuki Kanbe or Marina Kuroki. The current era is called "20th Anniversary Stage" by fans.
 
Only tropes unique (or overly relevant) to this adaption are listed here. All others are at ''[[Sailor Moon]]''.
