KPOP, a brand-new musical inspired by the global musical K-pop phenomenon, makes history tonight as the first Broadway musical celebrating Korean culture with Korean, Korean-American, and API representation on and off-stage. The musical released its first previews yesterday evening (Oct. 13) before a November 20 opening at Circle in the Square Theatre (235 West 50th Street).
KPOP The Musical will certainly feature some familiar Broadway faces, like Julia Abueva, but will also serve as the debuting Broadway performance for others. Playing the starring role of MwE in KPOP, notable musical artist Luna will appear for the first time on Broadway this Fall.
BoHyung, Major Curda, and Jinwoo Jung, join Jiho Kang, Amy Keum, James Kho, Marina Kondo, Eddy Lee, Joshua Lee, Jully Lee, Lina Rose Lee, Timothy H. Lee, Abraham Lim, Min, Kate Mina Lin, Aubie Merrylees, Patrick Park, Zachary Noah Piser, Kevin Woo, and John Yi to round out the impressive KPOP The Musical cast.
Tim Forbes and Joey Parnes worked together to produce KPOP The Musical. The plot and script were conceived by Woodshed Collective and Jason Kim. Featuring arrangements by Helen Park, music and lyrics by Max Vernon, and choreography by Jennifer Weber, KPOP The Musical is destined to be a smashing Fall theatrical success!
