"500 Pyeong Entirely Rented" 10th Anniversary 'Phantom' Park Hyo-shin, Kai, Jeon Dong-seok Heat Up

[Financial News]  The musical ‘Phantom’ has revealed the rehearsal site, conveying the excitement ahead of the 10th anniversary performance. 
On the 27th, musical production company EMK Musical Company (EMK) released rehearsal photos capturing the intense energy of the actors ahead of the 10th anniversary commemorative performance of ‘Phantom’, which opens on the 31st at the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts Grand Theater in Jongno-gu, Seoul.
The released photos show the actors seriously immersed in their roles during rehearsals. Especially for this 10th anniversary performance, they have rented a studio of approximately 500 pyeong in size entirely for tryouts, bringing in the actual stage set to practice, striving to enhance the work's completeness. 
The musical ‘Phantom’ is based on Gaston Leroux’s ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ (1910) and is a work by EMK Musical Company, known for outstanding localization through original musicals like ‘The Man Who Laughs’, ‘Frankenstein’, ‘Beethoven; Beethoven Secret’, and ‘Mozart!’, ‘Rebecca’, ‘Elisabeth’.
The work increased audience immersion with a splendid large-scale stage replicating the Paris Opera House's three-floor structure, seamless progression, and quick scene transitions, and breathed new life into the work by visualizing Phantom's past through ballet choreography.
Thus, the musical ‘Phantom’ recorded the top ticket sales in the musical category in 2015 and 2016 consecutively and won the Grand Prize at the 11th Golden Ticket Awards, being recognized for its commercial success and artistic value.
Meanwhile, the fifth season and 10th anniversary commemorative performance of the musical ‘Phantom’ will continue until August 11.
