South Korea, producer Torben Brookman says, “has developed an enormous thirst for musicals, not just for Cats and Phantom, but also for new, cutting-edge work. Only in South Korea, Brookman says, is there an equivalent of an off-Broadway theatre circuit, where a city has streets full of small theatres, with seating capacities of 150 or 300, all showing a different musical. One small theatre in South Korea has been showing the cult musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch for two years.”
