By: Lauren Wolman Dec. 18, 2010
Junsu, a member of JYJ, the South Korean pop group, has been cast for a leading role in the Broadway musical, TEARS OF HEAVEN.
Press notes describe the show as "the original story takes place in Vietnam in 1968 and is a love triangle between a beautiful Vietnamese singer, a Korean private, and an American Colonel set against the backdrop of the days leading up to and during the Tet Offensive. The action follows our characters to Seoul, Korea, and the shores of America in San Francisco's Chinatown."
The musical is scheduled to open December 27th in Korea, and will run for a month before being taken overseas to Japan and Europe. A performance in the US by 2012 has been pinned as their goal.
Composer Frank Wildhorn (DRACULA and JEKYLL & HYDE )will be producing the songs, while Junsu will be working alongside Broadway star Brad Little.
