Brad Little speaks at a press conference for musical Tears of Heaven held at the Imperial Palace hotel in Seoul, South Korea on December 13, 2010. [Lee Jin-hyuk/10Asia]
Q: The participation by creative teams from overseas stands out.
Seol: The musical numbers by Frank Wildhorn are much more commercial and pop-like compared to his past work. They also have a degree of completion which is enough to appeal to fans in the United States. And David Gallo is a stage designer who has won the Tony Award in Broadway but he too will work in a different pattern than he has in the past including incorporating a lot of video. We have the perfect designs for each scene but they could change when we actually start making the musical. I am a bit worried that it may turn out too artistic.
Q: Whats the reason you insisted on working with a foreign crew when the production itself is Korean?
Seol: It would have been great to work with a Korean crew but there definitely needs to be improvement in certain areas. And a lot of people may be skilled but none of them have experience in Broadway and we need people from there to win.
Q: The show will premiere in Korea but is planning on touring to Asia and the rest of the world. In what way will the show run overseas?
Seol: The musical will still be in Korean when it goes on tour in Asia but when it goes to Europe and the U.S., we plan to pick an entirely new cast composed of actors from the countries the musical will show in.
Q: Has the schedule been set for the world tour?
Seol: Everything is in its planning stages right now. In the case of Dream Girls from 2009, it was easier to tour overseas since it was based on a production thats already out but Tears of Heaven will run for the first time so I think well start setting a schedule after producers from Japan and Europe come and watch our Korea show in February.
