Nagoya Shiki Theatre — Attraction in Nagoya

I was deeply impressed by 'The Boy and the Beast'. It's a wonderful story with excellent actors and numerous beautiful songs. It's a performance that moves me no matter how many times I watch it. I truly wish people all around the world could see it too."

Indeed, "The Boy and the Beast" is a remarkable work that has touched many hearts. Originally an animated film directed by Mamoru Hosoda, it has been adapted into a stage musical by the Shiki Theatre Company. The story depicts the unique bond between Kumatetsu, a beast, and Kyuta, a human boy, as they grow together and overcome challenges.
