Love Musical – Ai

Love Musical – Ai

Childhood love, university sweetheart, and long distance relationship. Remember your first love, that butterflies in your stomach, the first heart break? Remember the first time you lived together, travel together and cried together?

Inspired from real stories, Ai, meaning love in Chinese and Japanese, is one-of-a-kind romantic comedy musical incorporates New Age Hip Hop dance into traditional musical, paired with 100% original songs and music. Multicultural cast with a story that is familiar and universal.

Co-directed by Kohei Iguchi and Jun Bin Lee, this is the first musical in New Zealand that combined Asian pop and Western musical and incorporated into dance and songs that make you wanted to get up and dance along to.

“Ai, is another love story. Yes, it is another, good ol' love story,” says Iguchi. “It was showcased 2 years ago at a small venue, with a small cast, and a small audience. But the show itself received an enormous response with some asking us to take this show to the next level. So here we are!”

"It certainly is not one of your usual Broadway/West End musical and because of this, it requires us to explore deeply within ourselves to be more,” says Lee. “We need to be more creative, try out more different things, overcome more challenges, and of course have more fun.”

Let us challenge you to something new, with something old; fall in love, cry, rejoice together again. Leave the theatre skipping.
