We’ve read the manga, we’ve watched the anime, but are we truly prepared for the Attack on Titan musical? Hajime Isayama’s colossal hit series is making the leap to the stage in the fittingly titled Attack on Titan the Musical, with performances planned for Osaka and Tokyo with the help of some state-of-the-art technology to bring the saga’s scale to life.
You can get a taste of what’s to come in the trailer and visual:
The project is being directed by Go Ueki (Hypnosis Mic Division Rap Battle Rule the stage), with Masafumi Hata handling the script, KEN THE 390 directing the music, and Kaori Miura on lyrics. Performances kick off at the Orix Theater in Osaka on January 7, 2023, where it will run until January 9 before moving to Tokyo’s Nippon Seinenkan Hall for performances from January 14-24.
