dorian gray??? yo, junsu gets to play some really cool, interesting characters in musicals. i'm glad he pushes himself with characters like L and Dorian Gray.
Thanks! My friend was getting tickets for herself and knew I was visiting so she asked if I wanted some too and I was like uhhhhhhhhhhh yes lol. I'll try to do some posts or something about the trip after I come back :)
The Prague location is so stunning. Also really loving the costume work for all the characters. Looks gorgeous.
I was so touched reading that article about the musical director, Munjeong (?) working on this for years. Like, it's her baby. And she shared early songs she was working on with Junsu and he encouraged her. And she composed a lot of the songs with his voice in mind. They've worked together a ton since Mozart and I remember watching the 'Making Of' stuff with her at the time thinking, "... this woman is super brilliant. Good lord.". Hardcore music people are so interesting to me. Anyway, it's just cool to see something that was only in someone's head for a long time being brought to life.
Generally excited to see how all the plotting will work. I imagine we'll be singing a bubbly sunshine Junsu gradually transition to an awful dark villainous Junsu. And I think Eun Tae will be fantastic in his role, too!
