Those who missed out on the chance to experience Your Lie in April – The Musical earlier this year will be excited to know that the performance will be returning to the UK, and this time it will take place at Harold Pinter Theatre in London for a 12 week showing. Tickets for this event are also available to book online.
Your Lie in April is a romantic drama manga series written and illustrated by Naoshi Arakawa, and was later adapted into the anime series by A-1 PIctures and Aniplex, with the story focusing on piano prodigy Kōsei Arima and violinist Kaori Miyazono. The Musical will look to adapt this story with musical performances throughout:
This musical adaption of a manga favourite story, Your Lie in April, 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.
This adaption is based on Your Lie in April, a five-million-selling manga by Naoshi Arakawa published by KODANSHA LTD. ©Naoshi Arakawa/KODANSHA.
