Broadway Musical ‘Aladdin’ Opens Fantastically on Korean Stage

On the 22nd, the Broadway musical ‘Aladdin’ made a spectacular debut on the Korean stage at the Charlotte Theater in Jamsil, Seoul. As befitting a Disney blockbuster musical, the performance was filled with magical moments that captivated the audience. In particular, Jung SungHwa, who played the Genie, captured the audience with his witty acting and humor, creating a kingdom of laughter.

This performance featured outstanding performances by Korean actors such as Jung SungHwa, Kim JunSu, and Park KangHyun, with Jung SungHwa perfectly embodying his signature character, Genie. Additionally, Kim JunSu seamlessly melted into the role of Aladdin with his uniquely energetic stage presence, winning the hearts of the audience. The highlight of the performance was the diverse dance routines performed by the 19-member ensemble, including belly dance and tap dance, which lit up the stage even more vibrantly.

The stage design was based on Middle Eastern architecture and Indian art, capturing the original atmosphere perfectly. The audience held their breath and immersed themselves in the scene where the giant cave with the magic lamp glowed in gold. The set, costume, and prop designs all boasted high completion, with participation from the original Broadway team.

The musical ‘Aladdin’ offers new excitement by adding show elements unique to musicals, beyond merely recreating the animation. Notably, ‘Friend Like Me’ is reborn as an approximately 8-minute show led by Genie, offering the audience a unique thrill.

The casting of this performance is also noteworthy. The role of Aladdin is played by Kim JunSu, Seo KyungSoo, and Park KangHyun, while the role of Genie is played by Jung SungHwa, Jung WonYoung, and Kang HongSuk. The role of Princess Jasmine is played by Lee SungKyung, Min KyungA, and Choi JiHye. The performance continues in Seoul until June 22 next year, after which it will move to the Busan Dream Theater in July.

In this way, the musical ‘Aladdin’ guides audiences to a new world with its fantastic stage and passionate performances by the actors. It remains to be seen if the show’s success will continue.
