[2021.01.18 Mon] 입이 트이는 영어 Musical

[Brainstorming] book tickets, seat type, good seat, lead actors

 

More and more poeple in Korea enjoy musicals, and go to see performances often. Last year, a lot of shows were called off because of Covid-19. This year, it is my hope that musical performances will get going again.

 

Types of musical performances include touring shows in Korean, liscensed shows, and original performances. 

Depending on the scale of the show, they can be performed at large or small theaters. Seat types at most musicals are classified as VIP, R, S or A class seats. Some shows sell non-designated seats via social commerce.

 

Musical actors include the lead actors, the supporting actors, and the ensemble cast. When there is an actor with Box office cloud clout, the show can sell out quickly, and it's hard to scour score tickets. Theater-goers that prefer certain shows or actors often go repeat viewings of the same show.
