KPOP, the new Broadway musical, releases the first-look production photos, starring K-pop superstar Luna as MwE, at Circle in the Square Theatre. KPOP, directed by Teddy Bergman, features a book by Jason Kim; choreography by Jennifer Weber; music, lyrics, music production, and arrangements by Helen Park; and music and lyrics by Max Vernon.

 

KPOP is the first Broadway musical to celebrate Korean culture with Korean, Korean-American, and API representation on and off-stage.

Featuring a cast of K-pop and musical theater stars, it's a multimedia experience unlike anything else on Broadway.
