In everyone's childhood, there is almost a magical girl/teenager riding a broom. Whether it's Sakura riding a magic wand to collect cards, or Harry Potter, who recently dropped you off at Hogwarts on your phone, these enduring magical themes are always immersive.
In these magical worlds, in addition to letting children fantasize about one day flying on a broomstick, they can also make them feel the tenderness and reality that cannot be directly expressed in words in ordinary days.

Created for 36 years, "Witch House Rush" tells the story of the protagonist Kiki, who is eager to grow and bravely face setbacks, in her solo cultivation journey as a "witch", through firm faith and hard work to complete one task after another, inspirational and warm growth story.

In 2017, the version of the musical created by the Japanese studio once again allowed the characters' hearts to be transmitted to the audience at zero distance through singing expression through original music, so that the characters in the story could further approach the audience's heart, and the complete audio-visual presentation allowed the audience to more truly empathize with the frustrations and growth experienced by the protagonist.

If "Witch House Rush" is interpreting a realistic fairy tale with childlike words, then the growth it refers to can actually refer to anyone in reality, so it is more suitable for a family to watch together.
Li Xiang, the Chinese director of "Witch House Rush", said: "The 'magic' and faith of the witch will make people of each age absorb different nutrients, it is not just a fairy tale that belongs to children, it also belongs to each of us." ”
"In the course of life, when everyone is confused and troubled in every period, the important thing is not how difficult it is, but to move forward more courageously and not forget the original intention." Producer Lai Yi also admitted that this is not only a fairy tale, but a "seed of magic" that can give people hope and energy.

If you've never experienced the magic world on the spot, it's a shame.
The hollowed-out house abstractly presents the concept of "home", and the mysterious atmosphere created by the lighting and multimedia projections that change as the plot progresses, turning the stage into a junction between reality and fairy tales. If you want to know how to "fly" on stage, then you must take a look.
Kiki chose a city completely different from "home" as a foothold for the experience, the beautiful and fashionable city is completely different from the simple rural temperament, but it can appear on a small stage at the same time.

Full of fairy tales and dreams, the Belgian surrealist painter Magritte's painting style became the stage background, and the cities slowly emerged from the whale-shaped clouds and finally froze in the new city Crick Town where Kiki wanted to settle. Along with the flowing picture, it will bring the audience an immersive enjoyment of traveling through time and space.
The changing lights and wonderful song and dance performances allow every audience to better understand the plot and have a pure and beautiful audiovisual experience.
With the addition of more powerful actors, more humorous and warm plot adaptations, closer to the authentic casting, and more wonderful performances, "Witch House Rush" hopes that every audience can harvest "a healing growth journey" and an unprecedented dream audio-visual experience in the theater.
