The musical 『Ludwig – Beethoven The Piano』 will open in Tokyo on October 29, and will begin its Osaka run on November 16. After the Chikyuu performance in Osaka on the 21st, the Kanazawa performance will finally begin on Friday, the 25th.
The atmosphere on the scene is palpable from the cast’s posts.
The musical 『Ludwig: Beethoven The Piano』 depicts the life of Beethoven, a musical genius who was passionate about music even after losing his hearing. Nakamura Tomoya, who plays the role of Ludwig the Younger, seems to be showing extraordinary concentration in his daily stage performances.
Haruka Kinoshita, who plays the role of Marie, was surprised at the speed of the flow of the show, saying, 「As of November 6, I realized I’ve been to 10 performances…」 She added, 「I’m really surprised at how quickly each performance goes by like a storm. Same as ever? More and more? The days are getting more and more intense」.
Haruka Kinoshita introduced the fact that Shinichiro Kogure, who plays the pianist, spends more time on stage than anyone else in the play, saying, 「He plays a lot of difficult melodies while sensing our play, which is a little different every day. It’s really amazing…」 He respected him.
Shinichiro Kogure’s tweets after the Tokyo AKIRAKURI were 「I was always gripped by the way you played the piano in breathtaking harmony with your co-stars」 and 「Thank you for your beautiful piano all the way through! I really understand how Tomoya-kun felt when he put Kogure-san in the middle at the curtain call. Thank you so much for your appreciation」. Many people also expressed their appreciation by saying, 「I was surprised to see Shin-chan playing the piano」.
Seiji Fukushi is a regular jump
Seiji Fukushi, who plays the other Ludwig/young man, is shown jumping in the theater on Instagram.
The photographer is Shinichiro Kogure, which is something to smile about.
Along with the jump on the 18th during the Osaka performance, he was very enthusiastic, saying, 「It’s a tough stage day by day, but it was a comfort to my heart… With Nakamura Rinya as the chairman, we will all work together to do our best」.
By the way, Seiji Fukushi played the role of Kaoru Inoue in the NHK historical drama 『Seiten wo Tsuke』 in 2021, didn’t he? I was looking forward to watching the drama every time I saw it, but I was so absorbed in the role of Kaoru Inoue that I didn’t notice it at all.
When it comes to getting into a role, he’s amazing.
As a side note, I was surprised by Nakamura Tomoya’s acting ability when he played the role of a married couple in a Daiwa House commercial (2016-), from senior and junior in the company with Ueno Juri.
A little later, the drama 『Cliff Hotel!』 (2018), when I saw him play a chef who loves boating, I groaned 「I can’t believe it!」 when I found out it was the same person.
Back to 『Ludwig』, the astringent Nakamura Rinya commented calmly on the official 「plus a」 account.
The gap between his performance and the earnestness he showed in the announcement video for the MUSICAL 『Ludwig: Beethoven The Piano』 is still amazing.
Tweets about 『Ludwig』 are increasing as the Kanazawa show approaches.
