The Book Thief is a stage musical adapted from Markus Zusak's 2005 novel of the same name. The story is set in Molching, a small German town during the Second World War, and the novel is narrated by Death. It follows Liesel Meminger, a young girl placed with a foster family, who begins to steal books and learns to read with the help of her foster father, Hans Hubermann.

The novel's themes of literacy, friendship and survival under the Nazi regime form the dramatic core of the adaptation. The Lyric Theatre Hammersmith, a theatre on King Street in west London, hosts the production. The show will appeal to audiences who know the novel and to those who follow stage musicals drawn from literary sources.
