Attack on Titan: The Musical is officially taking its theatrical adaptation global. The production team announced in October 2026 that the show will launch its very first world tour, kicking off with a highly anticipated engagement in Southeast Asia. Fans in the region can experience the dark fantasy world of Hajime Isayama’s creation live at the Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands, in Singapore, running from April 15 to May 2, 2027.
The upcoming Singapore engagement marks a major milestone for the international expansion of the production. This follows its successful debut outside of Japan at the New York City Center in October 2024. The musical first premiered in January 2023 with runs at Osaka’s Orix Theater and Tokyo’s Seinenkan Hall, later returning to Japanese stages between December 2024 and January 2025.
Production Team and Unique Theatrical Style
The stage adaptation brings the bestselling manga-which has sold more than 140 million copies worldwide-to life through a blend of live acting, original music, choreography, lighting, and stage technology. Rather than utilizing tracks from the anime’s original soundtrack, the production features custom songs written specifically for the stage.
The creative team behind the 2.5-dimensional musical includes:
- Director: Gō Ueki
- Book/Script: Masafumi Hata
- Music Supervision: Hip-hop artist KEN THE 390
- Lyrics: Kaori Miura
The narrative covers the early chapters of the dark fantasy epic, starting from the beginning through the Battle of Trost, with certain plot events rearranged to fit the theatrical medium. Audiences can expect appearances from core characters including Eren Yeager, Mikasa Ackerman, Armin Arlert, Levi, Erwin Smith, and Hange Zoe, portrayed by a cast of 27 performers.
What to Expect for the World Tour
Performances will be delivered in Japanese and accompanied by English surtitles displayed on screen for international audiences. The running time of the show is approximately 120 minutes without an intermission. Organizers note that the production contains depictions of violence, injury, and death, prompting a recommendation for viewer discretion.
Following the opening run in Singapore, the production team has confirmed that additional international dates and locations will be revealed later. Fans can watch for further announcements on the official world tour channels as the 2027 premiere approaches.
