Here's a look at Your Lie in April, which is being fully staged for the first time at the Harold Pinter Theatre until 21 September 2024.
The production was first staged for three concerts at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane earlier this year.
Your Lie in April follows the story of Kōsei Arima, a piano prodigy who loses his ability to hear the piano after his mother's death until he meets a spirited violinist named Kaori Miyazono, who helps him rediscover his love for music. Their journey together is one of emotional healing, self-discovery, and the bittersweet nature of life and love.
The theatrical production features music by Frank Wildhorn, lyrics by Carly Robyn Green and Tracy Miller, English book by Rinne B Groff, music arrangement and orchestration by Jason Howland and original book by Riko Sakaguchi.
Your Lie in April's cast is led by Zheng Xi Yong (Spring Awakening) as Kosei Arima, Rachel Clare Chan (Oliver!) as Tsubaki Sawabe and Dean John-Wilson (The King and I) as Ryota Watari, who all starred in the concert version of the show, with Mia Kobayashi making her professional debut as Kaori Miyazono.
They are joined on stage by Ernest Stroud (as Takeshi, first cover Watari/second cover Kosei), JoJo Meredith (as Derick, first cover Kosei), Chris Fung (as Mi-ike, ensemble), Eu Jin Hwang (as Kaori’s Dad, Judge #1), Daniel Nardone (as swing), Ericka Posadas (as Emi/ensemble), Lucy Park (as Kosei’s Mom), Gracie Lai (as Kaori’s Mom, Judge #2), Imogen Law Hing Choy (as ensemble) and Ria Tanaka (as swing). Stroud, Meredith, Fung and Hwang are all reprising their respective roles from Drury Lane.
