Commemorating the opening of the musical “HEADS UP!”｜Interview with Hiroki Aiba & Uehara

Interview with Hiroki Aiba & Raw Uehara

LaSalle Ishii, 10 years of planning! The musical ``HEADS UP!'', which is attracting attention as Sho Aikawa's first musical appearance, has finally come to an end at the KAAT Kanagawa Arts Theater. In other words, this work can be described as a ``stage of a stage'', as the title says, ``An entertainment musical for those who watch the stage and those who create the stage!'' This is because, in this work, the front of the stage is not the main character, but the stage manager, props, and other staff members who work hard to make the work a success in places that we don't usually see. Additionally, in this performance, with the full cooperation of KAAT Kanagawa Arts Theater staff, each actor received training from real staff. I would like to pay attention to not only the story but also how the behind-the-scenes aspects are expressed, such as actually showing the preparations on stage.

To commemorate the opening, Magcal conducted interviews with Hiroki Aiba, who played the role of the stage manager, and Ichiro Uehara, who played the props.
Please take a look at the heartfelt comments made by these two actors, who have more contact with the people who create the stage than usual.

Musical “HEADS UP!” will be held at KAAT Kanagawa Arts Theater
Held until November 23rd (Monday/Holiday).
