Producers Tim Forbes and Joey Parnes announced the musical on Wednesday (March 30), which will begin performances on Broadway with previews starting on Thursday, October 13, 2022, in advance of an opening night on Sunday, November 20, 2022.

The show will play at the Circle in the Square Theatre.

“Anyone who has followed my career knows that musical theatre has always been a driving passion of mine. Broadway represents the pinnacle of achievement in my profession, so being able to bring my culture—this Korean artform—to the fans who flock here from all over the world to see a Broadway show is the honor of my life,” Luna said in a press conference.

Complete casting for KPOP will be announced shortly.

Here’s a synopsis: “KPOP is the story of global superstars putting everything on the line for a special one-night only concert, when one singer’s inner struggle threatens to dismantle one of the biggest labels in the industry. Pulsing with infectious beats, electrifying choreography, and breathtaking joy, KPOP is an all-consuming multimedia experience that explores the relentless discipline, raw talent, and commercial ambition behind the heart-thumping international phenomenon.”

An earlier version of the show played to sold-out crowds off-Broadway in the fall of 2017, and was the recipient of the 2018 Richard Rodgers Award and three Lucille Lortel Awards, including Best Musical, the Off-Broadway Alliance Award, and seven Drama Desk Award nominations.
