Korea’s winter theatre season is overflowing with blockbuster musicals, rivaling Broadway and the West End. Hit shows running now include Rent, Moulin Rouge!, Kinky Boots, Beetlejuice, Bonnie and Clyde, and Evita. Audiences can expect diverse offerings: Rent delivers raw youth energy and themes of love and survival; Kinky Boots brings uplifting friendship and big curtain-call singalongs; Moulin Rouge! stuns with lavish sets, pop hits, and cabaret romance; Beetlejuice offers Tim Burton-style fantasy and inventive practical stage effects; Evita showcases powerful vocals in the true story of Eva Perón; Bonnie and Clyde presents a stylish, gospel-infused take on the Depression-era outlaw couple. Despite many productions making the season costly, ticket availability is relatively good, making this an ideal time to try for shows you’ve been wanting to see. (Note: curtain call — the final appearance by the cast to acknowledge applause.)
