Watch a first look at Your Lie in April the Musical in West End trailer

A brand-new trailer for the highly anticipated West End musical, Your Lie in April, has just been released.

Featuring stunning footage and two beautiful songs from the show, the trailer gives us a glimpse into this heart-wrenching story.

Your Lie in April is making history as the first West End musical adapted from a manga, bringing one of Japan’s most beloved romantic stories to the stage.

Running until September 21 at The Harold Pinter Theatre, this tragic love story of two star-crossed musicians is sure to be a hit.

The musical follows Kōsei, a young piano prodigy known as the “Human Metronome” for his precise playing. After his mother’s sudden death, he loses the ability to play.

Enter Kaori, a brilliant violinist who helps him find his way back to music and life. As their friendship blossoms, Kōsei realises he has fallen for Kaori. But is their love destined to end in tragedy?

With lush, romantic music by Frank Wildhorn, the creator of Jekyll and Hyde, Your Lie in April promises to be an epic love story set against the backdrop of classical music.

The musical boasts a stellar team, including lyrics by Carly Robyn Green and Tracy Miller, and an English-language book by Rinnie B. Groff.

Directed and choreographed by Nick Winston and co-directed by Jordan Murphy, with music arrangement and orchestrations by Jason Howland, the production is a visual and auditory treat.

Originally published as a manga in 2011, Your Lie in April has sold over 7.5 million copies worldwide. It has been adapted into an anime series, a live-action film, and a Japanese stage production.

The musical opened in Tokyo in 2022 and broke box office records.

Now, the West End production marks its English-language premiere, promising to capture hearts just as it has in Japan.

Don’t miss your chance to see this poignant tale of love and music live on stage.
