We decided to see a one act performance. I went to a live performance (kabuki inspired) in another theater about three years ago (2016) and I loved it. So I was excited to try another one.
The performance however was not too impressive. I believe this is an experience for those that understand Japanese and history well. Most of the performance was dialogue amongst the actors, the music was minimal, and there was not much physical movement in the play.
If you are looking for a cool spectacle with traditional music or performances, I don't recommend this, unless you already have a specific play picked out that might have that.
So be careful if you gamble and go to a show that you have no idea about because it could be dialogue that you don't understand for an hour an a half.

Get the translator! Very comfortable seating, able to hear the actors very well. You can stay as long as you like. A view into the old culture of Japan. Very old stories. Location in the middle of town. Enjoyed the evening very much.

I was really looking forward to this, but I was very disappointed. Single act tickets are only available on the day of performance. The first problem is that the space between the rows were so narrow that I could not get my knees in to face forward. The second problem was that the single-act seats are up on the 4th floor and you are so far up and away from the stage that you could not appreciate the actors' makeup, etc. What should have been a cultural highlight experience was not.

Even if you don't want to see the Kabuki stage, you'd better go there because the building is cool just to see it!

初心者は短い時間だけ歌舞伎の舞台を見ることも可能(専用チケットあり)一階フロアには歌舞伎にちなんだお土産がたくさん売っていて楽しめます。

I was not inside for a show but looked at the building and the posters. Also the show is not too expensive, just have to be there at good time.
Note, they also have some kind of adverts souvenir shop, where you can make funny photos with masks at Narita airport
