Dreamgirls Have Seoul

Filed under: Broadway Babies

beyonce.jpg

Dreamgirls is coming back to the stage…but not in NYC (just yet)!

The upcoming $10 million revival will be launched in Seoul, South Korea — 6,883 miles away from the great white way.

The Seoul production is being put together by Broadway veterans. It will tour several US cities before landing on Broadway in the 2009-2010 season.

Interesting move, right?

There are a few reasons why the producers chose this path. First, those harsh Broadway critics might not make the trip to Seoul for the premiere run! The producers prob want to work out any kinks without the know-it-alls breathing down their necks.

Second, Korean investors are putting up $4 million. That's almost half the cost.

Smart move!

Broadway is going global!

    Re: becky –

    something tells me i would like to decapitate you.

    im not even going to go on a "this is why girls are anorexic" spree.

    you are obviously a young white male who doesn't know what a real woman's body is supposed to look like (breasts, hips, thighs".

    You are all idiots. This photo, unlike every other photo out there of her, was not edited. She has probably looked like this the whole time but half of her body was erased. Trust me, I am a professional photo editor. Have you seen how FAKE every other pic is of her?

    FUCK Korea. They BRUTALLY kill dogs and cats, believing the more savage the death, the better the meat will taste. It is despicable how CRUEL they are to animals. BARBARIAN FUCKERS. Since Beyonce is going over there, I will never, EVER buy a CD of hers, or watch a movie she is in.

    Seems to be a precedent for this, sort of. About twenty five years ago there was a South Korean production of Evita, but I think that was after the broadway show here, not before. Either way, I guess they like our musicals.

    I love your blog Pez :)

    but I also ADORE miss Beyoncé Knowles.
    She is incredible,you should see her live
    (even though you don't like her).
    Listen to her new single "Beautiful Nightmare" IT'S HOT!

    by the way,thankyou so much for showing U.S.A. how
    lovely Robyn is.We've been listening to her for
    10 years now in Sweden.She's supertalented.

    PEACE!
