Children’s Musical Theatre in Korea

Hi Everyone! Sorry for the one week hiatus. One of my jobs out here in Korea is working as a Choreographer and Assistant Artistic Director for a children’s musical theatre company. It’s been a busy couple of months, having just opened our second studio and preparing for our end of the year showcases.

Last week, I had 4 days worth of shows along with tech and dress rehearsals. It was a lot of work and I’m still exhausted, but it was totally worth it. Most of the kids I train speak English as a second language and it’s amazing how much talent they have. Dancing, singing and acting in a language you’re not entirely familiar with is no easy feat, but they work so hard.

Anywho, all of our musicals are written by our director and include populars songs from other musicals. One of our shows was based on the musical Cats. We had some phenomenal makeup artists come in to really help bring everything together. Although I was running the dress rehearsal and running around most of the time, I did manage to snap a few photos here and there. So, just thought I’d share them with you all.
