The Seoul Musical Company presents 'The First Great Show' until November 15 at the Sejong Center M Theater. It humorously explores the birth of musicals in Korea during a time when the concept was unfamiliar. The show depicts the chaotic journey of creating a groundbreaking musical under government orders in the 1960s. Through exaggerated characters and unpredictable plots, it delivers comedy yet ends with heartfelt emotions. It also pays tribute to the first musical 'Saljaghi Obssoye', blending fact and fiction. The musical captures the essence of musicals through a spectacular collage of songs, drawing inspiration from famous productions like 'Phantom of the Opera', 'Les Misérables', and more. The dynamic performances break the boundaries between stage and audience, making for an immersive experience. The production offers a touchingly genuine homage to the beginnings of Korean musicals and sends support to current and future creators in the industry.
