August 12, 2023 Seoul
Cast : Kim ju-taek, Sohn ji-soo, Hwang gun-ha
[first review]
[second review]
KJT Phantom will be the Phantom's favorite Phantom…
Once you hear him sing *in the theatre*, it's the point of no return. I guarantee it. I've heard a lot of Phantoms sing over the years, but when you sit in a theater and are surrounded by KJT's voice, you realize that there really isn't a singer who can top him...
i mean, really! The first thing I thought of while listening to his MOTN was the story of Zeus and Semele, where Semele asked Zeus to show her his true colors, and Zeus showed up in his most humble attire, but she burned to death. I can't help but feel that...He has a voice that is beyond human, but he is singing at a level that we humans can handle...
The only thing I wish is that he would have connected the strength of his voice (absolute majesty) to his acting, giving it more weight and emotional control.
I feel like he was heavily influenced by JSW and JDS, and they are actors who fill their scenes with emotional outbursts and added details, which is not KJT's strength as he can fill the stage with his majestic voice… A singing is a singing, and it's true that his musical acting is inexperienced…lol Wouldn't it have been enough if he just stuck to the script without being... greedy?(sorry but i really want to see serious phantom...😂)
Choosing SJS christine as his partner was a great choice. She's thoughtful (she wants to comfort Phantom even in the STYDI), and the desire to reach the angels of music is desperate. but she's human after all… Like Semele, her Christine is not the right vessel to receive the KJT Phantom, so it seems that she will not be able to survive by his side. It's not that Christine isn't good enough, it's that the Phantom is more than humans can handle.
Her portrayal of Christine is very sweet, but at the same time, you can really feel her fear of the Phantom as an absolute. That's why I feel like KJT and her fit together like puzzle pieces...
And! This time I realized, when the managers praise her prima donna debut, she hears it from the room and smiles proudly! So cute omg
As for HGH Raoul, looking at him makes me think about how different he is compared to the SWG Raoul I saw just before.
HGH Raoul is young. He seems to have a lot of anger, but it can also be seen as passion. He finds it difficult to understand Christine, but at the same time, he doesn't always wrap his arms around her but helps her face the trials she has to face under his protection.
like, In TWISTED EVERY WAY, SJS Christine shrinks back in fear, but he doesn't let go of her hand and pulls her to face reality. It wasn't that he was cold, this seemed to be his way of loving.. Helping her do something she doesn't want to do but needs to do (face the Phantom as a man).
The biggest difference in SWG Raoul is that in the rooftop scene, He turns his head with Christine as if they heard the phantom's 'Christine...' together. HGH Raoul doesn't understand the confused Christine at all, but SWG Raoul definitely notices something is very wrong.
HGH raoul will be an eternal stranger in the world of the phantom and christine, but she will no longer be in that world.
The terzetto of these three was staggering. The final lair is…🤯 Andrew Lloyd Webber should see their show. I’m deadly serious. If he sees this, he'll stop the… some ridiculous non-replica productions and focus on finding good actors. This is what the original POTO was all about. To move the audience through song. To make them stop breathe and focus on the show…
I didn't think their acting was special. But with their singing alone, they made the scene suspenseful and compelling.
+ KJT grabbed Raoul's arm as he was putting the lasso on and started singing, teasing him (백마 탄 왕자님아!/Prince charming!), and it was a small funny scene where HGH Raoul got annoyed and brushed it off lol
I loved the rest of the cast, but as always, it was Piangi and Andre who stood out for me. I'm obsessed with PHR Piangi, and I'd feel like I hadn't seen a full show if he didn't hold that high notes🤣 (and he does that in every show I've ever seen!)
YYS Andre makes me laugh every time he's in the box seats. Not to mention the way he watches Christine nervously and then claps in ecstasy, or the way he freaks out when Carlotta throws Christine into bed in Il Muto, He is so Scene stealer.
In Il muto, everyone laughed when Carlotta tried to pull up Christine's skirt, but it didn't come off and SJS was dragged away. I didn't notice because I was looking elsewhere through my opera glasses...🥲 I'll admit that POTO has a very pretty stage to watch from the upper seats, but I think the first floor is the best for watching the actors.

Yes it seems like i saw the WICKED
I thought the stage was very green+yellow too. Actually, my first thought was, ‘it’s very yellowy…’
Even in the review of the first show, I wrote The lights are too yellow, is it my eyes?
But when I looked at the photo later, I realized that the green color was more vivid🤔
I don't think they adjusted the lighting with the intention of preventing the audience from taking pictures. Maybe they just... thought it looked right...
I felt that the lighting effect was better in the last performance of CJR and JDS in Seoul, but from the photos, there is not much difference…🤷♀️
+ My position on S&CO is complicated, I think they are regulating too much and unnecessarily, but at the same time I know they are serious about continuing the original poto, so...
I would be devastated if the rights to Poto korea went to another musical company (especially emk), but! if s&co left more of the original poto on video, that would also be preserving the original...🥲
Why so green? Am I seeing Wicked or Phantom?
Did POTO Korean producers S&CO do something to make POTO Korea’s proscenium look so gross and green in order to discourage audiences from taking photos? (You bet this did not happen in NYC, London & China!!)
So S&CO in Korea has these extremely strict rules:
(1) Absolutely no curtain call photos/videos allowed.
(2) No designated day(s) for fans to meet & greet Phantom actors at all. Stage dooring for Phantom in Korea doesn’t exist. Actors either (a) stop to wave and bow and then get into a car or (b) walk quickly while smiling and bowing.
(3) No official curtain call photos/videos were ever released except a few seconds in promotional videos early in the production.
So one day, my phriend @jeremyonthelair and I were talking about POTO’s proscenium and how beautiful the angel statue is. But then he mentioned something that piqued my interest right away.
“Did you notice Korea proscenium in Charlotte theater has a green tint on all the golden sculptures? And the strangest thing is I didn’t see the green tint in person!! Only in photos!!”
Side note: Jeremy saw POTO China this past summer and POTO Korea in the fall, so you could say he had something to compare to in a short period of time.
We proceded to share proscenium photos – Jeremy with his China and Korea photos and me with Bway photos.
↑ Jeremy’s Korea photo
↑ My Majestic theatre photo taken on the day of the last public performance
↑ Jeremy’s Shanghai photo
Please note: I did not edit any photos in this post at all (other than a black oval to cover my phriend).
Here I have compiled some Korea proscenium photos as evidence. And for comparison, I also added some Majestic theatre photos provided by me and a fellow NY phan @flagbridge – along with some POTO China photos.
Jeremy’s Korea photos:
1) ↑ Taken with an iPhone
2) ↑ Taken with a Samsung
The weirdest thing is —
3) ↑ Film camera looks fine
4) ↑ Xiaomi phone is less affected, somewhat
Here are some Charlotte theater photos and videos I found online:
1) ↑ Click on the link below to view the video. Yikes, this does not look good!

2) ↑ Another one from Mezzanine level
3) ↑ The current Korean Raoul, Gunha Hwang, posted this photo of the stage in Seoul – are these lights what’s turning everything green?

The same thing is happening in Daegu, Korea right now:
4) ↑ Posted Dec 23 in Daegu – click on the link to view the video

5) ↑ Another video from Daegu

Now here are my Majestic theatre photos:
↑ Taken in April of 2023
↑ Here is another Majestic photo from a fellow NY phan @flagbridge

Let’s take a look at POTO China proscenium taken by theatre-goers:

↑ https://weibo.com/3965362386/4967561219803733
My question to @lucygold95 @roadtophantom @fadinglandtragedy who have seen POTO in Korea. Did you see the gross green tint on the proscenium in person? Why do you think this is only happening in Korea?
I’d love to hear other phans’ thoughts as well!
Lastly, I want to thank my phriends Jeremy and @flagbridge for letting me use their photos.
