Book now for You & It, the award-winning South Korean musical exploring love, grief and artificial intelligence, playing a strictly limited London premiere season at the King’s Head Theatre.

You & It in London

One of South Korea’s most celebrated new musicals arrives in London this summer as the award-winning You & It makes its London premiere at the King’s Head Theatre in Islington, running from 20 August to 26 September 2026.

Set in a near-future world where humans and AI coexist, this intimate two-hander follows a grieving widower who encounters an artificial intelligence created in the image of his late wife. As technology offers him a second chance at connection, he is forced to confront grief, memory and the true meaning of love.

Blending an emotionally charged love story with timely questions about artificial intelligence and what it means to be human, You & It has become one of the most successful original Korean musicals of recent years.

What to expect

You & It pairs an intimate two-person story with a rich, contemporary score, asking a universal question: if technology can recreate the people we love, what truly makes us human? Moving and deeply personal, it offers a poignant exploration of humanity in the age of AI.

Book You & It tickets

You & It plays a strictly limited London premiere season at the King’s Head Theatre from 20 August to 26 September 2026. With an intimate venue and a short five-week run, early booking is recommended: particularly for weekend and peak performances.

In a near-future world where humans and artificial intelligence coexist, a grieving widower is offered an extraordinary and unsettling gift: an AI created in the image of his late wife. As he begins to interact with this recreation, he must confront the nature of grief, the reliability of memory, and the question of whether love can survive or be rebuilt through technology.

An intimate two-hander told through a soaring contemporary score, You & It is both a tender love story and a profound meditation on what it means to be human in an age increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence. If a surface can be rebuilt perfectly, can it ever hold the person beneath?

Acclaimed across South Korea, Taiwan and at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and supported by South Korea’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Arts Council
