The iconic 80s generation defining movie is now a dynamic new musical.Daniel is the new kid in town trying to fit in until he becomes the target of Cobra Kai’s relentless star student, Johnny.

Underestimated and outmatched, Daniel struggles to find his footing, until Ali, Johnny’s ex, sees something in Daniel that no one else does.

As Johnny refuses to step aside, teenage rivalry turns into something more sinister.

Daniel discovers guidance from Mr.

Miyagi who teaches him that karate isn’t about fighting, it’s about balance, respect and that the greatest victories are won from within.Featuring a Tony Award®-winning design team and an electrifying new score, this ‘elegant, emotional and remarkable’ (BroadwayWorld) coming-of-age masterpiece is reimagined with stunning artistry and groundbreaking choreography.Honouring the roots of the timeless story, this musical celebrates resilience, mentorship, and the quiet strength that bridges generations.
