The Musical” has proven to be the country’s most eclectic and theatrical portrayal of love. Each year, the show reinvents itself, bringing an even more exciting experience, than the previous year. The Creator and Director of the stage production, Ice Nweke, expressed that this year’s show has aroused so much interest, because of plans to make it bigger than it has ever been in the past.

“Love Is... The Musical” is the love story of three ladies; a passion-filled poet, a professional dancer and a business woman in search of love, narrated with five art forms; Choreography, Music, Spoken Word, Visual Arts and Short Film. It is a performance of assumptions, feedbacks and observations on the idea of love, and it tells this emotion so intricately, and with a careful presentation of collective perceptions that it could be called the most structured, assemble of different forms that tell a universally confounding emotion.

The drama would be staged in its full and unabridged version for the first time.

He said, “this year’s version of Love Is... The Musical, will be different, and absolutely fantastic. We are bringing the show to the stage in the original form it was conceived and I can assure you that the show will run for more than one-and-half hours without break. Every moment would be exciting.”
