Austine Onuoha serenades theatre with The Bride musical play

Lagos is set to glow with romance this Valentine period as the seasoned theatre director, Austine Onuoha, brings his latest play, ‘The Bride,’ to life.

The romantic musical promises an unforgettable theatrical experience that blends love, mystery, music, and emotional depth.

‘The Bride’ tells the hauntingly beautiful story of a groom who mysteriously disappears on his wedding day, leaving a bride — and the audience — suspended between heartbreak, hope, and unanswered questions. Set against a rich musical backdrop, the play explores love’s resilience, the courage to persevere, and the emotional complexities that surface when fairytales are interrupted.

Perfectly timed for the Valentine period, ‘The Bride’ is designed as an immersive outdoor theatrical experience, drawing audiences into the bride’s emotional journey through live music, intimate performances, and evocative staging that blurs the line between spectator and story.

The production boasts a stellar cast featuring Sharon Adaeze, Ralph Okoro, Theodora Omo, and Justin Ben, delivering powerful performances that anchor the play’s emotional core. Music direction is led by Peter Dirodola, whose original compositions elevate the romance and tension that drive the narrative.

The Bride will be showing all weekend in February at the Terra Kulture.
