South Korea is one of few countries to have begun presenting shows to capacity audiences amid the coronavirus pandemic. The latest musical to reopen there is the Korean-language version of Wicked, the first mounting of that show to reopen anywhere. The production will run at the Blue Square Theatre in Seoul until May 2 and then will move to the Dream Theatre in Busan on May 20. The first cast features Ock Joo Hyun (Elphaba), Jeong Sun Ah (Glinda), Sea Kyoung Su (Fiyero), Nam Kyoung Joo (Wizard), and Lee So You (Madame Morrible). The second cast includes Son Seung Yeon (Elphaba), Na Ha Na (Glinda), Jin Tae Hwa (Fiyero), Lee Sang Jun (Wizard), and Kim Ji Sun (Madame Morrible). Below is a montage of Jeong Sun Ah and Ock Joo Hyun in “Popular” and “For Good.”
