The story of the "The Enchanted Bookshop Musical" is about a town's ordinary bookshop that transforms itself at night and sees fairy-tale characters come alive and sing and play thanks to a spell cast by a book fairy. The Hong Kong 3 Arts Musical Institute injects new life into this American original children's musical with Cantonese dialogue and lyrics, taking the audience back to the world of books and fairy tales. The additional performance is presented by the Hong Kong 3 Arts Musical Institute.
Theatre Space adapts Akiyuki Nosaka's semi-autobiographical "Grave of the Fireflies" into a Cantonese musical, recasting the classic tale of Seita and his younger sister Setsuko during a summer in the World War II period that touched everyone's heart.
