The world premiere of the musical theater adaptation of Japanese manga Your Lie in April, produced by Toho and Fuji TV, will take place this weekend – May 7th and 8th, 2022 at the Nissay Theatre in Tokyo, Japan – after the Covid-19 pandemic delayed its original opening date in July 2020.
With original music by Broadway composer Frank Wildhorn (Jekyll & Hyde, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Bonnie & Clyde), lyrics by Carly Robyn Green, Tracy Miller, and Wildhorn, and arrangements and orchestrations by Jason Howland (Beautiful, Little Women), the musical based on Naoshi Arakawa’s Kodansha manga is directed by Ikko Ueda and written by Riko Sakaguchi.
