Korea Fiddler, Mamma Mia!
And a better Cyrano adaptation
SEE YOUR FAVES IN A NEW LIGHT
“Mamma Mia” Korea holding auditions — The show premiered in the Korean language with an all-Korean cast in 2004, and has been staged almost every year in about 21 cities nationwide since then.
“Fiddler on the Roof” (“지붕 위의 바이올린”) announces new dates and cast schedule — Fiddler has been performed by Sejong Center for the Performing Arts Seoul Musical Troupe six times over the past 60 years. I like their little Dreamworks lookin logo guy.
COMING SOON THIS FRIDAY:
What I’m Reading:
“Korean musical ‘revolving door audience’ ratio tripled compared to pre-COVID-19”
Repeat buyers made up 29.6% of the total musical audience
30% of audience for Korean original musicals “The Fiction” and “Thrill Me” watched 2+ times
57 musicals last season: 39 original musicals, 14 licensed musicals, and 4 concerts. THIRTY NINE ORIGINAL MUSICALS PEOPLE!
Tickets for the return of “Death Note” sold out in 5 minutes which is why I’ll never know peace
“Jekyll & Hyde” had the largest attendance last year
Buyers skew female (41.8%), age 30s (35.7%)
Spotlight Show: Frank Wildhorn’s “Cyrano”
The Peter Dinklage movie was just 123 minutes of me wanting to revisit this currently-Asia-exclusive show instead. I stand by my 2017 review, and always by my favorite actor in the world, Hong Kwang-ho.
