Currently running at London's Harold Pinter Theatre, Your Lie In April has this week announced that they will be closing earlier than anticipated.
Originally planned to run until 21st September, the show will now close on August 11th.
The musical, based on the Japanese best-selling manga novel, was written by Frank Wildhorn (Jekyll & Hyde, Bonnie & Clyde) and received three concert stagings earlier this year.
On writing the production Wildhorn said, "Your Lie In April is a love letter to the beautiful power of music – to heal, to take us through life’s adventures, to create our most precious memories… I’ve never had more fun than creating this music!”
In regards to the closure, the producers said “We are proud to have made history by bringing the first manga musical to the West End and to have given the opportunity for the first 100 per cent Asian and Southeast Asian cast to perform in a West End musical. Our journey from two sold out concerts at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane to a full West End production at The Harold Pinter Theatre (hosting its first musical since 2016) turned around in a matter of weeks due to popular demand. We are immensely proud of the show and the amazing work from the creative team, cast, crew, and musicians – and we thank them for their dedication and incredible work. It is particularly exciting to us how many people made Your Lie in April their first ever West End musical experience. And to our audiences who dressed the part and cheered them on, we say Bravo!”
Your Lie in April will close on August 11th. Tickets still available here.
