“The Phantom of the Opera” returns to Seoul for the first time in seven years on March 14. [JOONGANG ILBO]

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

Blue Square, Interpark Hall

March 14 - June 26


“The Phantom of the Opera” is returning to Korea for the first time in seven years.

The timeless musical centers around Christine, who used to be an obscure singer, but finds herself filling in for leading soprano Carlotta and eventually soaring to stardom. But Christine is abducted from her dressing room one day by a disfigured man dubbed The Phantom of the Opera. Although Christine is released from The Phantom on the condition that she will stay devoted to him, Raoul, who is in love with Christine, promises that he will confront The Phantom.

The plot is the same as audiences expect it to be, but the show’s producers reportedly upgraded all of the show’s props, including the chandelier, a key prop for the musical.

Jonathan Roxmouth will play the Phantom while Claire Lyon is playing Christine and Matt Leisy playing Raoul.

Lyon played the same role in 2012 when “The Phantom of the Opera” premiered in Seoul.

The musical is in English, and Korean subtitles will be provided on screens throughout the theater.

The musical starts at 8 p.m. on weekdays and at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on weekends and holidays. There are no shows on Mondays.

After the Seoul show, the musical will move to Daegu in July for about two months.

Tickets range from 60,000 won to 170,000 won.

Hangangjin Station, line No. 6, exit 2 or 3.



REBECCA

Chungmu Arts Center

Through March 15


The musical “Rebecca” has returned for its fifth production in Seoul.

The musical is based on a Gothic romance novel by Daphne du Maurier, but it reportedly was inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s 1940 film “Rebecca,” too.

The musical, which combines romance and suspense, first hit the stage in Vienna in 2006.

Set in a mansion called Manderley, the musical tells the story of Maxim de Winter, a wealthy widower who lost his wife Rebecca to a drowning accident but still can’t get over the traumatic past. He comes to get married to a woman named I, but the new Mrs. Winter finds that Mrs. Danvers, who has been housekeeping the mansion, still lives in the shadow of Rebecca by worshiping her.

When the musical was first staged in Seoul, it was the highest-selling musical for five consecutive weeks.

Musical director Robert Johanson has been at the helm of the production since its premiere.

Four actors including Ryu Jung-han, Um Ki-joon, Kai and Shin Sung-rok will alternate in the role of Mr. Winter, while actresses Shin Young-sook, Oak Joo-hyun and Jang Eun-ah will play Mrs. Danvers.

The show starts at 7 p.m. on Tuesdays and 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. There are no shows on Mondays.
