Uh-mazing SMTOWN line-up for a musical: Fany, Eunhyuk, Lina and Jungmo to play in 'Fame'

[gardenintheair.livejournal.com]

It's been revealed that Super Junior's Eunhyuk and SNSD's Tiffany will be making their musical debuts through 'Fame'.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the musical, 'Fame' was viewed by nearly 4 million people from 1995 to 2006, and with an estimated revenue of 56,000,000 pounds, it's the best-selling West End theater musical to date. The musical has gained international recognition, with over 300 productions shown in 16 different countries. This time, 'Fame' will be revamped for the Korean audience with an upgraded stage and outstanding cast line-up.

Using a performing arts school as a backdrop, the musical will incorporate acting, ballet, and violin and wind instrument performances to create a dramatic and entertaining storyline. Son Ho Young, Super Junior's Eunhyuk, SNSD's Tiffany, CSJH's Lina, and Trax's Jungmo will portray the lives and hardships endured by the top students of 'P.A Performing Arts School', who strive to be the top 1% of their class by excelling in singing, dancing, and acting.

The cast will have two actors for each character: Son Ho Young and actor Ko Eun Sung as 'Nick Piazza', Eunhyuk and actor Kim Dae Hyun as 'Tyron Jacksogn', Tiffany and actress Shin Yi Jung as 'Carmen Diaz', Lina and actress Choi Joo Ri as 'Serena Katz', and Jungmo and gypsy violinist Lee Il Geun as 'Schlomo Metzenbaum'.

The first batch of tickets for 'Fame' will go on sale on September 6th, and the musical will play at the Olympic Park Woori Finance Art Hall from November 25th to January 29th of next year.

LOL! same XD its not hard to assume seeing all these dating articles everywhere.

[devilstay.livejournal.com]

You know I honestly don't mind celebrities/famous people doing theater. I just wish that there was at least auditioning process, or that they took time to prepare them for the stage, rather then just deciding to do a musical, and have it shown like 6months later.

All that being said,I have to say, I didn't think 'Fame - The Musical' was all that great when I saw it here in the West-End.

[icedevil0289.livejournal.com]

no I definitely agree about the auditioning part. I think, especially if it's your first musical, perhaps taking like a role of a minor character and then climbing your way up would be a good thing.

I just found it interesting that all these idols will to be alternating with 'real' actors for their roles. Are they going to have an idol line-up and a actor line-up, or are the ranks going to be mixed..? I would assume many a fangirl would like to see all their faves in one show, but the overall quality of the production might be better if it's idols in between actors.

[luvey.livejournal.com]

is the other musicals are any indication, it's going to be mixed.
