Kim Tae-Hyeong, Graduate of the School of Drama, Directs a Rock Musical Lizzie

Theater director Kim Tae-Hyeong produced the premiere of rock musical Lizzie in Korea. The staging of Lizzie this year has been awaited by many musical fans.

The synopsis of this musical is based on the true story of Lizzie Borden who was a suspect of an unsolved murder case. During the running time, four female characters lead the play with their powerful and yet delicate vocals. The critics view the musical as a rock-style of harangue disproving the oppression and discrimination against women still existing. Through Lizzie Borden's case from 118 years ago, this musical reminds the audience of how the same problem repeats in today's society.

Before, theater director Kim was acclaimed for his other works such as the musical Marie Curie and the plays Elite Students and The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window. The cast of actress Na Ha-Na, another alumna of the School of Drama, for the role of Lizzie Borden also heightens the expectation for this musical. Lizzie is on stage from April 2nd to June 21st at Dream Art Center Theater at Daehak-ro.
