Theaters throughout South Korea will remain open during the extended Chuseok holiday, offering a diverse array of performances to entertain visitors who prefer to spend the break watching shows rather than traveling. The lineup includes large-scale musicals, distinctive plays, and live screenings from the National Theater of Korea's NT Live series, which brings productions from the world stage to Seoul's main venue.
Among the highlights are popular big-budget musicals such as Disney's "Frozen," set to play at Charlotte Theater from September 24 to 27, before closing on March 1 next year. This run is particularly noteworthy as it will feature a Korean cast portraying the iconic character Elsa, with lead roles taken by Jung Sun-ah, Min Kyung-ah, and Jung Yu-ji.
Additionally, a Korean licensed production of the musical will continue at D Cube Link Art Center until November 15, featuring an original Korean jukebox musical that compiles hits from the late composer Lee Young-hoon, including the poignant song "Girl."
