Musical 'Ludwig' Returns on Beethoven's 250th Birthday Anniversary, Opening June 30

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Byung-hee] The original musical 'Ludwig: Beethoven The Piano (Ludwig)' will return for its third run this June to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth.

'Ludwig' is a work that highlights the human side of the great composer Beethoven. It portrays Beethoven's intense struggle with his musical talent amid his admiration and jealousy toward Mozart, accompanied by numbers that are variations of Beethoven's music.

In the third performance, not only the actors who starred in the previous season but also new cast members will join to present an even more complete production.

The role of 'Ludwig,' who spent a painful youth trapped in childhood trauma, will be played by Seo Beom-seok, Kim Ju-ho, Tae, and Park Yoo-deok.

The role of 'Young Ludwig,' who in his youth denied his dreams, piano, and life itself and struggled with self-doubt and anguish, will be portrayed by Yang Ji-won, Kim Jun-young, Park Jun-hwi, and Jo Hwan-ji.

The role of 'Marie,' who was deprived of many opportunities simply because she was a woman in an era full of prejudice and restrictions but did not give up and moved forward, will be played by Kim So-hyang, Lee Eun-yul, Kim Ji-yu, and Kim Soo-yeon.

The role of 'Walter,' a musical prodigy who came to find Beethoven with Marie, will be played by child actors Cha Seong-je and Baek Geon-woo. These two child actors will perform piano live on the 'Ludwig' stage.

Finally, pianists Lee Beom-jae and Lee Dong-yeon will perform Beethoven's masterpieces live.

The musical 'Ludwig' will open on June 30 at TOM Theater 1.
