JYJ’s Junsu cast in leading role
for musical “Tears of Heaven”
JYJ’s Junsu will be heading overseas next for the Great White Way, as he’s been casted for a leading role in the Broadway musical, “Tears of Heaven“.
Considered to be the ambitious work of Seol Company’s CEO, Seol Do Yoon, and Core Content Media’s Kim Gwang Su, the production revolves around a love triangle set during the Vietnam War between a Korean soldier, a female Vietnamese singer, and an American officer. Junsu has been casted for the role of ‘Jun Hyung’, the Korean soldier that falls in love with the Vietnamese singer, ‘Lin’. ‘Jun Hyung’ later becomes a famous composer and the father to his daughter that he had with Lin.
Seol Company reportedly set aside $10 million USD for production costs alone. The musical is scheduled to open for December 27th in Korea, and will run for a month there before being taken overseas to Japan and Europe. A performance in the States by 2012 has been pinned as their ultimate goal.
Representatives of Seol Company revealed on December 10th, “We cannot give a confirmation statement right now regarding the cast line-up. All final casting decisions will be made public at the production conference to be held on the 13th. By February, this musical will be performed all over Asia, including Japan and Hong Kong. The ultimate goal is Broadway.”
Composer Frank Wildhorn of “Dracula” and “Jekyll & Hyde” will be producing the songs, while Junsu will be working alongside Broadway star Brad Little.

JYJ's Junsu Takes
On The US Next Year JYJ's Xiah Junsu will be taking on both the
Billboard Charts and Broadway next year.
Not only will he be releasing his worldwide album in the US next month, but he will also be visiting the overseas concert scene as a musical actor as he has been cast as the lead role for 'Tears of Heaven', the biggest musical created in Korea.
Seol Company, the production company of 'Phantom of the Opera', invested 10 billion Won in this new musical which will be performed at the National Theater for a month from January 27th. The company is planning to hold overseas performances in place ssuch as Japan and Europe after the Korean performances are over.
As the ambitious that Seol Company's CEO Seol Do Yoon prepared to take to Broadway, it is planning on hitting the Broadway scene in 2012. World renowned composer Frank Wildhorn, who has worked on 'Jekyl and Hyde' and 'Dracula' will be in charge of the music, and Broadway's shining star Brad Little will be working alongside Xiah Junsu.
The story is set during the Vietnam War and draws its plot from the tangled love between a Vietnamese woman, a Korean soldier and an American officer. Xiah Junsu will play the role of Joon Hyung, who falls in love with Lyn, a Saigon club singer, and later returns as a famous writer to search for Tiana, the daughter he conceived with Lyn.
The decision to cast Xiah Junsu as the lead role is garnering much attention as the 'rising star' with the greatest ticket power in the industry will now meet with a large-scale musical that vows to globalize Korean musicals.
It has been found that Xiah Junsu received the highest paycheck (30 million Won per show) for his musical, beating Jo Seung Woo from 'Jekyl and Hyde' (18 million Won per show). However, this high payment was justified as he caused 15 shows of 'Mozart!' to be sold out in three hours in January, as well as the 4 'Musical Concert-Levy With Friends' performances in October.
