HetaMyu (ヘタミュ^?), shorthand for Hetalia Musical (ヘタリア MUSICAL^?), are stage musical adaptions of the webcomic and manga series Hetalia: Axis Powers by Hidekaz Himaruya. The first musical, Hetalia ~Singin' in the World~ ran from December 24 - 29, 2016 and a second musical has been announced for a November 2016 run.

Unlike other adaptions of the series, the musical diverge from the source material on certain key world-building plot points - most notably the nation characters representing the political motivations of the countries at the time, while in the manga the nation characters represented the country as a whole while their leaders ("bosses") dictated political aims. This has proven controversial due to the nature of historical events such as World War II.
