A bilingual archive of Korean musical theater, at home and abroad

This site is dedicated to Korean musical theater — both at home and abroad — with reflections drawn from my own experiences as an audience member. It’s part archive, part opinion, part curiosity project.

Personal reflections on musicals I’ve seen — original Korean works, licensed productions, and Broadway shows. Not formal criticism, but responses to performances that stayed with me.

What happens between the acts. Q&As on stagecraft and history, and diary notes from theatres at home and abroad. The questions that stayed after the curtain call.

Databases of Korean musicals: original works staged in Seoul’s large theaters, productions abroad from workshops to licensed runs, Korean investment in Broadway and West End shows, and Korean performers on those stages. Each entry recorded with sources.

A guide to how musical theater works in Korea — audience habits, ticketing, and backstage customs. Useful whether you’re new to Korean musicals or planning to attend one.

A visual calendar of major musical productions in Korea by venue and year, with external references and links to my reviews.
