"Dream High" adapted to musical, starring Arama's boyfriend <3



Adapted from the Korean drama "Dream High", the first Japanese installation is a musical. Along with Matsushita Yuya, Nanaka from BRIGHT and Mizuta Kouki (Oshitari Kenya in TeniMyu) will be joining in the musical as well. The musical is set for July, and will be directed and choreographed by Masuda Tetsuharu - the choreographer behind AKB48's "Beginner" and SMAP's "Sotto Kyutto" PVs (he did some other bunch of music videos too).

Yuya will play the character Song Sam Dong. While Nanaka (BRIGHT) will play as Ko Hemi (Go Hyemi).
Yuya's comment on his role is: "Since I was 6 y.o,I wanted to be a singer. I spent Junior High School with singing and dancing everyday, even when I'm not in a (school) club. Then I went to the same music school as Nanaka (BRIGHT). Therefore I can relate with the character, who has the same passion to pursue his dream as an artist. I will do my best in this role, to fulfill the hopes and dreams of many people who love the story."

"Dream High" musical adaptation will be performed on New National Theatre, July 3rd, 2012. Ticket will be on sale starting on May 27th. For more info, check out the official website: http://www.musical-dreamhigh.jp/

The picture is definitely, but yeah, I didn't see his name either... Joey Beni Lino Tee, or any other variation of these x'D

He is listed as 丞威 which can be read as Joey. And it also comes from his real name 岩永丞威 (Iwanaga Joey).

I don't know if DH first season's plot is interesting enough to be musical material, but since in Japan you see quite a variety of musical plays, I hope this will be fine. It has Nanaka and Yuya in it, so might be interesting to watch.

OH SNAP NANAKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm already thinking that this is going to be a good adaptation.
However, I am biased because I never watched the korean drama.

PLEASE LET THERE BE A DVD FOR THIS!

LOL I'm just watching Dream High and I love it so far.

whited_79 22nd-Mar-2012 01:29 pm (UTC)
I love and hate Dream High at the same time, but I love Sam Dong and I love love love Kim Soo Hyun who plays him. Yuya hasn't gotten the acting chops to be compared to KSH I feel, but he certainly got the voice!
