The musical 'The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals' (original title: The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals) has opened at the Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre, Theatre West. This work was first performed in 2018 by the Los Angeles-based StarKid Productions and is inspired by the 1956 horror film 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers.' It is an unusual 'B-movie horror musical' where, around the protagonist who dislikes musicals, people suddenly start singing and dancing, causing a bizarre phenomenon. This production is the second part of Theater Company TipTap's 20th-anniversary performances. Ichiho Ueda is in charge of translation, lyric adaptation, and direction, with Tokifumi Ozawa serving as music director. The cast features Koki Mizuta in the lead role, Tomona Yabiku as the heroine, and a豪華 (gōka - luxurious) lineup including Marika Dando, Ryosuke Kobayashi, Mirei, Masaki Kamata, Orenogravity, and Shinichiro Hara, delivering a surprisingly, utterly ridiculous 'B-movie horror musical.' Within the play, lines that musical fans will chuckle at, and gestures and movements that should be cool are deliberately transformed into comical expressions and exaggerated actions reminiscent of a B-movie comedy. The gap created by the uniquely talented cast performing these with full effort and utmost seriousness is what makes this work supremely charming. Furthermore, the essence of nostalgic B-movie horror, reminiscent of old sci-fi films, and the comedy elements sprinkled throughout give the work a unique depth. While exuding this B-movie feel, the live sound and singing that envelop the theater to the accompaniment of wonderful songs are extremely high quality. This luxurious setup will undoubtedly draw the audience into the world of the work without a moment's boredom until the very end. We hope you will experience this ultimate entertainment, disguised as a cheap and lovable B-movie horror, at the theater.
