10th Anniversary Musical 'Mama, Don’t Cry' Opens June 17 at Sejong Center for the Performing Arts

[Asia Economy Reporter Byunghee Park] The musical "Mama, Don’t Cry," which was canceled due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), will move to Sejong Center M Theater and open on June 17.

“Mama, Don’t Cry,” celebrating its 10th anniversary since its premiere earlier this year, was originally scheduled to open on February 28 at Doosan Art Center Yeongang Hall. The opening date was postponed once to March 27 due to COVID-19, but the performance was ultimately canceled as part of participation in the high-level social distancing measures.

The production company emphasized, “Although the government’s preventive guidelines have eased from social distancing to everyday distancing, we will prioritize the health of the audience, actors, and staff visiting the theater and strictly comply with and implement quarantine rules.”

“Mama, Don’t Cry” is a two-person play featuring Professor V and Count Dracula. Professor V is a famous professor who has been mentioned as a Nobel Prize candidate. However, to win the heart of the woman he loves, he chooses a vampire’s life through a devil’s bargain with Count Dracula.

“Mama, Don’t Cry” has been loved by audiences for the past 10 years with its distinctive characters, unique themes of a time machine and vampires, a story that transcends time and space, and addictive rock beat numbers. This will be the sixth performance.

All 14 actors, including the original cast members Song Yongjin and Go Youngbin, who were initially scheduled to appear, will participate. Ticket sales are expected to open in early June.
