The beloved manga, Your Lie in April, has sold more than 7.5 million copies and been adapted for an anime television series and a live-action film. Now, the heartwarming tale has come to the stage in an exciting musical adaptation. Book Your Lie In April tickets on London Theatre.
Following a sell-out two-concert launch at Theatre Royal Drury Lane, the musical comes to Harold Pinter Theatre for a 12-week run. Much of the cast starred in the concert version of the show, including Rachel Clare Chan as Tsubaki Sawabe, Zheng Xi Yong (Boarders) as Kōsei Arima, and Dean John-Wilson (Masters of the Air) as Ryota Watari. A cast member who wasn’t part of the original concert is Mia Kobayashi, who is making her professional debut in the role of Kaori Miyazono.
Your Lie in April in London is a heartwarming story about a young pianist who is struggling to play following his mother’s death. When he unexpectedly befriends a violinist, she helps him return to performing.
Your Lie in April is a musical with an exceptional creative team, including Grammy, Tony, and Emmy-nominated composer Frank Wildhorn. Wildhorn also wrote the score of Death Note, another show based on a popular manga.
“I watched the anime of Your Lie in April, and when I was done crying, I raced to the piano and wrote it in one 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,” Wildhorn said.
Also included in the talented creative team is director and choreographer Nick Winston (Loserville, Pippin), designer Justin Williams (Death Note, La Bamba–A Musical), the English-language book is by award-winning writer Rinne B. Groff (Compulsion, Saved!), and lyrics are by Tracy Miller and Carly Robyn Green (Houdini, Mac & Beth).
