[Asia Economy Reporter Park Byung-hee] Actors Go Sang-ho and Kim Ri are joining the musical 'Midnight: Actor-Musician.'

On the 3rd, as another work in the 'Midnight' series, 'Midnight: Antlers' concluded, they are joining the Actor-Musician production.

'Midnight' is a musical based on the play 'Citizen of Hell' by Azerbaijani writer Elchin, set in the Stalin era of the Soviet Union in the 1930s. The story unfolds on the night of December 31, just before midnight, when a sinister 'Visitor' arrives at a couple enduring a terrifying era where people are taken away every night and disappear without a trace.

'Midnight' premiered in 2017, and in 2018, the original UK production participated in the performance.

The production company Moment Maker is presenting the 2017 premiere version as 'Midnight: Antlers' and the 2018 UK original production as 'Midnight: Actor-Musician.' 'Midnight: Antlers' opened on February 11 and ended after three days of performances, while 'Midnight: Actor-Musician' opened on April 11 and will run until June 28 at Yes24 Stage 3.

In 'Midnight: Actor-Musician,' Shin Sung-min and Jo Hwan-ji play the role of 'Visitor,' Kim Ji-cheol, Son Yoo-dong, and Yoon Seok-hyun play 'Man,' and Choi Yeon-woo and Hong Ji-hee play 'Woman.' Go Sang-ho joins as Visitor, and Kim Ri joins as Woman.

Besides the three characters Visitor, Man, and Woman, 'Midnight: Actor-Musician' features five actor-musicians. These actor-musicians enrich the production by performing instruments such as double bass, violin, guitar, percussion, and piano, as well as singing and acting.
