The European premiere of the manga stage musical Your Lie in April The Musical in Concert, will be performed at Theatre Royal Drury Lane on Monday 8 & Tuesday 9 April at 7.30pm and Tuesday 9 April at 2.30pm.

After 10 sold-out West End performances of ‘Death Note The Musical in Concert’, its producers are to stage the European premiere of another musical adaptation of a manga favourite story, ‘Your Lie in April - The Musical’, which also has music by Multi-Grammy, Tony, and Emmy Award nominated Broadway composer Frank Wildhorn (‘Bonnie & Clyde’, ‘Jekyll & Hyde’, ‘Death Note The Musical’).

Based on ‘Your Lie in April’, a seven and half-million-selling manga worldwide, by Naoshi Arakawa published by KODANSHA LTD., this musical will get its premiere in the West End at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane on Monday 8 April and Tuesday 9 April, 2024.

One of the most popular romantic stories and greatest tearjerkers in manga history, ‘Your Lie in April - The Musical’ brings to life the poignant story of Kōsei Arima, a young piano prodigy, and his inability to play following his mother’s death. He strikes a friendship with violinist Kaori Miyazono and she slowly encourages him to perform again.

The romantic drama has previously been adapted into a 22-part anime television series and a live-action film. Now get ready to experience the magic of ‘Your Lie in April’ in a whole new dimension... on the stage!

Frank Wildhorn said: “I watched the anime of ‘Your Lie in April’ and when I was done crying, I raced to the piano and wrote it inone fit of inspiration. It’s a love letter to the healing power of music, a coming-of-age story with truly universal themes of family, friendship, loss, first love and the bridge between childhood and becoming a young adult. I’m thrilled for West End audiences to hear the English language debut.”

‘Your Lie in April -The Musical’ has many members of the same creative team as ‘Death Note - The Musical’, including director Nick Winston (‘Bonnie & Clyde’) and designer Justin Williams (‘Wonderville Magic & Illusion’).
