Set in the late 1960s, "The First Great Show" is a creative musical that humorously imagines the birth of Korea's first musical. The show follows the chaotic and comedic journey of a troupe tasked to create a performance unseen before, under political pressure. The ensemble includes a mismatched cast - from an aspiring actor mistaken as a famous director, to eccentric musicians. While facing challenges such as censorship and constant script revisions, the characters discover their genuine passion for art. This 'meta-musical' also poses philosophical questions about theater, making it a delightful homage for musical fans. This playful retrospection performed at Seoul's Sejong Center runs until the 15th.
