The musical premiered in Japan on January 7, 2023.

Development

An Attack on Titan stage show was originally developed around 2016. It was announced in the release of Volume 21 of the manga.[1] However, during rehearsals, acrobat Kazutaka Yoshino was injured while testing the ODM gear mechanics. He later died in the hospital, causing the play to be cancelled.[2] In 2022, it was announced that a new musical would be brought to the stage. A poster and trailer were both released on September 5. Reception was mostly positive, although there were some who noted that they hoped the production would be more careful.[3][4]

Attack on Titan creator Hajime Isayama noted that he had initial worries about the production because of the accident, but stated that he felt like the new company would be much more careful and that he was looking forward to the production.[5] A key visual was released on October 21st, with photos of the individual characters released as well.[6]

Synopsis

100 years ago, man-eating giants known as Titans decimated humanity. The survivors built three walls to ensure their survival, until one day, they are reminded that they are trapped in a birdcage. A young Eren Yeager swears to destroy all of the Titans.
