Meanwhile Jo Kwon and Key have plenty of experience, Ken and CNU are gathering interest as this is their first musical project
According to a musical official, 2AM’s Jo Kwon, SHINee’s Key, VIXX’s Ken, and B1A4’s CNU have recently been confirmed for the musical ‘CHESS’. They have been casted to play Anatoly, a member of the chess team, and are expected to demonstrate powerful rock songs and performances.
With plenty of musical experience, Jo Kwon and Key have risen expectations for the musical, and Ken and CNU are gathering interest as this is their first musical project. Comparisons between these four idols’ skills and ticket power are especially things that cannot be avoided.
These four will be acting alongside Kim So Hyun, Shin Sung Woo, and more.
Chess' is a musical with lyrics written by Tim Rice (Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita) and music created by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, the two former members of ABBA.
The musical takes place in Hungary during the Cold War, and focuses on the love and conflict involving two rivals: an American chess team’s manager and a Russia chess player. This musical is increasingly gaining interest not only because of its expected great performances, but also due to its setting in the Cold War. Musical performances will begin on June 19th at SeJong Center for the Performing Arts.

Date: 2015-05-06 07:19 am (UTC)I almost didn't recognize Key and CNU. They look good, but unnatural.
I wish my country has decent musicals.

Date: 2015-05-06 10:39 am (UTC)It seems that Key is really establishing himself as a musical actor. I haven't watched any of his musicals live but I know people who did and they said he's really good at this.
