Review - Hero: Do You Hear The Korean People Sing?

Though Hero: The Musical, is being pushed as, 'the first Korean Broadway-style musical to be shown overseas,' it's really of a theatrical style firmly rooted in the West End. Commissioned to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the death of Korean freedom fighter, An Chunggun, Hero comes off at best as a well-intentioned imitation of the power-ballad heavy pop operas of Broadway's British invasion, frequently reminiscent of the revolutionary sexiness of Les Miserables and the military pageantry scenes of Miss Saigon.
