I loved it off-Broadway as well!
I was hoping Ashley Park would come back to star as MWE but I’m guessing she’s too busy with her to/movie schedule nowadays and am excited for Luna!
JBroadway said: So the show will likely be re-conceived to some extent, but it's unclear what that extent will be. Will they section off portions of the CITS to split the audience up? Will they have some scenes take place in the lobby or backstage? Or will they abandon the immersive elements of the show, and re-write it accordingly? The latter seems much more feasible and likely to me, but it's hard to know. And even harder to know exactly what it will look like. The planned out of town run would've given us a lot of clarity, but it was cancelled."
I actually saw post off-bway material but didn't see the original run (though heard a lot about it to the point where I felt like I saw it) and it had no immersive elements other than an emcee-type speaking to the audience. from my knowledge a ton of themes from the ars nova run (like the plastic surgeon) were cut/reworked. it had a 'concert experience' feel like Six but with more plot and still in the vein of traditional MT storytelling. this was in 2019 though, and i'm sure a lot a lot a lot has changed! i quite enjoyed the musical even without the immersive aspect, but i also know that that's what made the show phenomenal for a lot of people.
Just saw Helen Park will be performing at 54Below tonight with some of the KPOP cast, including LUNA!!! Anyone going? Unfortunately it was already sold out when I heard about it but live-streaming option is available.
