"The Three Musketeers" recruits Key as D'Artagnan

[misspontius.livejournal.com]

Fast becoming the Musical Prince of SHINee, Key is once again taking on a role in a musical right after his stint in "Bonnie and Clyde" ends, this time as valiant protagonist D'Artagnan in another Broadway musical, "The Three Musketeers"!

The star-studded cast was revealed in an intro video posted on "The Three Musketeers" homepage, showcasing their respective roles.

Joining Key on rotation for the role of D'Artagnan are Uhm Kijoon, 2PM's Jun.K, ZE:A's Park Hyungshik and Super Junior's Sungmin, as well as Park Jinwoo and FT Island's Song Seunghyun as special actors for the role.

Fans also get to see Key handsomely wielding a sword in the character concept video, in which Key turns on his bad-boy charm in 17th-century French attire.

"The Three Musketeers" will be staged from December 13 this year to February 2 next year at Seongnam Arts Centre Opera House. Tickets go on sale this October 29. Stay tuned for more updates on Key in "The Three Musketeers".

[goldynchickie.livejournal.com]

Not entirely pleased about this but boo sho nuff looks good. I can't with dem lips.

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

mte.

[yukahoo.livejournal.com]

I guess this means Kyuhyun has finally after three years stepped down from the role. Good run BBQ but now let us move on to bigger and better pastures, hmm?

Good luck to Key and Sungmin and all the others.

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

Kyu has played this role for 3 years already? I mean as 'D'Artagnan'?

[uledy.livejournal.com]

Oh, so the talk about Keysical being scored by the musical theater community and barred from ever working again truly was an exaggeration and purely conjecture, huh? Interesting....rme.

Anyway, get that money Key.

Maybe in promoting this, we'll get to see more of Hyungshik in interviews and variety shows. He seems like a sweetheart and I really want to know more about him outside ZE:A.

sis, please be careful about your tea. you're going to burn someone if you keep spilling it like that.

[kaylaa7x.livejournal.com]

god is he beautiful. (but those eyebrows key... we need to have a chat)

can he get a break tho? but i mean if this is something he really wants to do it's not like shinee haven't had impossible schedules since debut. :/

i'm sure segments of tumblr fandom are having a coronary over this... oh well......

[hitsujiga.livejournal.com]

his eyebrows look good again since a long time T_T hdu. give them time to grow and look beautiful again~

wot is tumblr doing again? :0

So happy for him!

[footballfina.livejournal.com]

so happy for him, he seems to really love the stage so it's amazing seeing him getting all these opportunities

but seriously, who do I have to kill to get jjong in a musical??!?!!

[kibume.livejournal.com]

i love jonghyun's voice but idk if it's made for musicals. i think out of all of them, onew needs another musical tbh

[hitsujiga.livejournal.com]

sdlihfsjkldhfdjsfh I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THIS BUT KJCFKJSFBJKSBFSJKBFJBJK YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! *__________* get it key bb!
UGH HE LOOKS SO GOOD. T_T what am i even saying these redundant things here...kjsdghkjghfkdgj <3

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

I really like how these musicals are showing off a totally different image of Key. Like more...tough and manly idk.

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

his face hasn't changed much after 5 years of being in the business. O_o

[hitsujiga.livejournal.com]

YES AND THANK GOD!!!

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

man, why is key still in musicals if he and SM can't give him enough time and effort to play the damn role without a hitch?

also being casted in musicals and actually being liked by the cast and the audience of the said musicals are not related, especially when so much of musical industry are still forced to hire celebrities to sell tickets.

[hitsujiga.livejournal.com]

why? still? u gave the answer yourself...

and i don't wanna hear another word about key not giving all his effort and time for a musical and being disliked by cast and audience from /anyone/ until proven the person was there and ACTUALLY WATCHED IT WITH THEIR OWN EYES.

[sakuragirl24.livejournal.com]

Sungmin oppar my musical king <3

Get it Keybum! he looks so good *o*

[shineesbright.livejournal.com]

i love this so much, keysical's not going anywhere for a hot while & ppl will just have to deal

[goldynchickie.livejournal.com]

That's how most of us feel. They may have had a 5 month break in Korea but they've been busting their asses off in Japan. I seriously don't know how they're standing let alone doing the intensive choreography from Everybody.

[cricket.livejournal.com]

so pleased he's getting more individual activities now (and money to spend on hideous, overpriced clothing)

plus look at those magnificent obsidian brows.

[impatiences.livejournal.com]

i've tried and tried but i will never like his face.

[internetwarr.livejournal.com]

[hisjulliet.livejournal.com]

the guy on the right looks like jack sparrow

[princesalunar.livejournal.com]

Great for you baby, but I'd love another musical for Onew -sigh-

[woorijinki.livejournal.com]

I feel the same way tbh :X I'm happy for him but Kibum already had a second run of CMIYC, then Bonnie & Clyde and now this one??? Give him a break. Onew likes musicals too, I don't understand why they haven't cast him since 2010

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

I just dont understand. Some people said he's being criticised for his lack of live singing ability (although I for one love his live singing esp for their Japanese performances) but he must be good that he's being cast again and again? I mean, if you said because he is a celebrity the reason why he's being casted, they could take other celebrity (or Onew?) to fill in the shoes if many ppl complain about his singing. I mean, he must be somehow good in what he does that he keeps getting the job after all these years.

[hitsujiga.livejournal.com]

that's what i'm saying all the time! he was criticised for his singing but i think in the same critique he was also praised for how well he played frank and gave him his own color. that's probably not even saying he's a good actor but just..a good performer? and that's totally key and i want to believe that's why they take him again and again. and rigthfully so! and i'm so happy for him!
