I am very honored that the animation film “The Boy and The Beast” by Studio Chizu will be adapted into a musical by the members of Shiki Theatre Company.
This is the first musical adaptation of a Studio Chizu film by Shiki Theatre Company, which is known for its Japanese language adaptations of popular musicals based on foreign anime films, such as The Beauty and The Beast and The Lion King.
A musical adaptation of Mamoru Hosoda’s 2015 anime feature film Bakemono no Ko / The Boy and The Beast is now in the works by Japan’s renowned theater company Gekidan Shiki / Shiki Theatre Company.
