'Frozen' comes to Seoul with K-pop accent, creative team says

The Broadway musical 'Frozen' is set to open in Seoul in August, featuring a Korean adaptation with unique elements. The production maintains the core of the original show while incorporating distinctly Korean aspects, such as a K-pop-influenced soundtrack and a casting approach where six actors share the lead roles of Elsa and Anna. Creative team members emphasized adapting to the talents of Korean performers rather than altering their singing styles. The production highlights differences between Korean theater practices and those in other regions, including the use of multiple casts for lead roles, which allows for varied interpretations of characters.
