MARIE ANTOINETTE

Through Nov. 17

The musical Marie Antoinette has returned to Korea for the first time in five years with its largest stage yet.

The musical tells the story of Marie Antoinette, the last queen of France, but it has added some fictional characters like Margrid Arnaud to add more drama to the life of the queen who was put to death by guillotine.

The nearly three-hour-long performance takes place in several settings, from the Palace of Versailles to Tuileries Garden to the Marais district, and the show will jump from place to place by using a revolving stage.

Musical actor Kim So-hyun returns to the role of Marie Antoinette for the first time since the show’s local premiere five years ago. Kim So-hyang will alternate as the queen.

Jang Eun-ah has been cast to play the role of Margrid, who begs for money on the street but later becomes a revolution leader.

The male protagonist Fersen will be played by three actors - Park Kang-hyun, Jung Taek-woon and Hwang Min-hyun - who will alternate in the role.

American Robert Johanson is directing the musical.

The show starts at 7 p.m. on Tuesdays, 8 p.m. on Thursdays, 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturdays and national holidays, and 3 p.m. on Sundays.
