THE KARATE KID - THE MUSICAL to Premiere in St. Louis in Its Pre-Broadway Run in 2022
While we wait for the next season of Cobra Kai to hit this December, and we see the Karate Kid trilogy leave Netflix next month, superfans have some new franchise info that might spark their interest. The Karate Kid - The Musical, which is based on the first film, is getting a pre-Broadway run next year in St. Louis, Missouri.
The musical will also come along with a book by original screenwriter Robert Mark Kamen. Drew Gasparini is writing the music and lyrics for the production. Amon Miyamoto is on board to direct, though there's no news yet on casting.
The Karate Kid — The Musical is a STAGES St. Louis production and will kick off at The Kirkwood Performing Arts Center just outside St. Louis, MO on May 25, 2022. This limited pre-Broadway engagement will run there through June 26.
