This spring, the stage at Sejong M Theater in Seoul, South Korea, will welcome audiences to a special story. Benjamin Button is an original musical based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story. With its unique setting of aging backwards, the musical deals with life's joys and sorrows, love and loss, and reminds us of the universal value of human life.
This performance is especially anticipated because of the participation of actors from diverse backgrounds. K-POP icon Choi Changmin of Dongbang Shin Ki will make his musical debut as the main character, Benjamin Button, and will be joined by Kim Jae-beom, who has acted in "Amadeus" and "Brothers Karamazov," and Kim Sung-shik, who received rave reviews for his performance in "Les Misérables," in the same role.
The stage design is in the hands of designer Seung Ho Jung, whose credits include Rebecca and Excalibur. His original stage design utilizing box objects will make the audience feel as if they are experiencing the mysterious life of Benjamin Button firsthand. In addition, the use of puppets by object artist Moon Suho is another visual attraction of the show.
The show will run from May 11 to June 30 at the Sejong M Theater in Seoul. If you're looking to take a journey through time with Benjamin Button, don't miss this opportunity.
