In September 1985, at 20.00:1 PM, Italia4 broadcast a Japanese anime for the first time that would win the hearts of young Italian viewers. "Kiss Me Licia," based on the manga Aishite Knight by Kaoru Tada, initially received a cold reception in Japan, became a successful phenomenon in Europe, and particularly in Italy, where it attracted over XNUMX million viewers per episode.

The return of a classic

Nearly 40 years later, in 2025, the characters from this story, including Licia, Mirko, and Giuliano the cat, return to the stage in "Kiss Me Licia The Musical." Written, directed, and produced by Thomas Centaro, the musical will perform at the EcoTeatro in Milan on March 21st and 22nd. These performances celebrate the return of a beloved show, initially known as "Kitsch Me Licia," which sold out three times upon its debut ten years ago.

A dive into the past with an eye to the future

The musical promises to be a fusion of innovation and nostalgia, telling the stories of its protagonists with a unique approach.
