LOVED the Drury lane production and agreed that it is a perfect title of all the anime’s to bring to stage. It is one of the most emotional stories surrounded by classical music. Got tickets again for opening night 😍

Is this the first time the Pinter is going to house a musical? It’s usually the go-to theatre for star castings/mainly screen actors doing theatre for a limited run. So nice to see a bit of change.
If Stereophonic will transfer to the West End next year after their Broadway run, they can probably be staged at the Pinter.

The Watermills “Sunset Boulevard”, Merrily We Roll Along from the Chocolate Factory, Sunny Afternoon, and the ill fated “Too Close to the Sun”

Not to mention the original production of The Rocky Horror Show which transferred from the Kings Road Theatre in 1979.

The original London production Little Shop of Horrors was also at the Harold Pinter.

If they don't usually do musicals there, I wonder if they will have the band on stage as it worked really well for the concert version. Also really hope the leading man plays the piano live again!

Booked to see this in August. I'm in London on a Sunday and needed something to see in the afternoon. I picked this despite knowing little about it.
Does anyone who has read the manga, knows the story or has seen the concert recommend I familiarise myself with the story of this first?

I suspect it’s shortened/simplified from the source material. No need to prepare.

I hadn't read the manga before hand but it still made me ball my eyes out and found it easy to follow...certainly easier to follow than Death Note which felt like it maybe needed more.....explaining before hand? Doesn't hurt that the music is also gorgeous!

Is this an overly sentimental with over the top performances kinda show?
The title intrigues me, but I can't stand shows that force emotions on audiences in a simplistic and basic manner.

I didn't get this feeling when I saw the concert. Was really sincerely done the emotion was just one part of what made it great
