Commemorating the opening of the musical "HEADS UP!" | Interview with Aiba Yuki and Uehara Rio

Interview with Yuuki Aiba and Rio Uehara

LaSalle Ishii, 10 years in the making! Sho Aikawa's first musical appearance, the much talked about musical "HEADS UP!" has finally risen to the top at KAAT Kanagawa Arts Theatre. As the title states, "An entertainment musical for those who watch the stage and those who make the stage!", this work can be said to be a "stage of the stage". This is because the main characters in this work are not the front of the stage, but the staff such as the stage director and props who usually work hard to make the work a success behind the scenes. In addition, with the full cooperation of the staff of KAAT Kanagawa Arts Theatre, each actor was trained by the real staff. We would like to pay attention not only to the story but also to how the backstage is expressed on the stage, such as showing the preparations on stage.

To commemorate the opening, Magcal interviewed both Yuuki Aiba, who played the role of stage director, and Rio Uehara, who played the role of props.
We hope you will enjoy these heartfelt comments from these two actors, who usually have a lot of contact with people who create stage productions.

The musical "HEADS UP!" will be performed at the Kanagawa Arts Theatre, KAAT.
The event will run until Monday, November 23rd (national holiday).
