Musical 'Rachmaninoff' Returns After 2 Years

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Byung-hee] The musical "Rachmaninoff," which depicts the hidden three-year story of Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff, is returning to the stage after about two years.

"Rachmaninoff" portrays the process of Rachmaninoff overcoming his slump during a three-year period by meeting psychiatrist Dr. Nikolai Dahl and growing through his recovery.

"Rachmaninoff" premiered as a two-person play in 2016.

For the role of the genius musician Rachmaninoff, Park Gyu-won, who appeared in the play "Fantasy Fairy Tale" and the musical "The Man Who Sold Shadows," Lee Hae-jun, who made a strong impression in the musical "Thrill Me," and Jung Wook-jin, who appeared in musicals such as "The Goddess is Watching," "So Ordinary," and "Letters for You," have been cast.

For the role of psychiatrist Nikolai Dahl, Yoo Sung-jae from musicals "Final Statement," "Oshige Oshige," and "Black Suit," Jung Min from musicals "Mist," "Fan Letter," and "Annals of the Bell," and Lim Byung-geun from musicals "Blue Rain," "King Arthur," and "The Devil" will appear.

"Rachmaninoff" is especially attractive for the harmony created on stage by the third actor, the pianist, and a string quartet performing Rachmaninoff's masterpieces. It has also won the Yegrin Award for Best Script and the Korean Musical Awards for Best Composition and Music Direction.

The musical "Rachmaninoff" will be performed at Yes24 Stage 1 from March 14 to June 7.
