Broadway On Demand exclusively presents the premiere of the 14th Daegu International Musical Festival Opening Concert, the centre of the K-musical, on Sunday 24 January at 2pm and 7pm.

Held in Daegu City in Korea annually each summer, the opening concert usually sees tens of thousands of musical fans come together in an outdoor venue. However, due to Covid-19 restrictions, the event will be held virtually this year.

Hosted by Lee Jeehoon and Kim Sung-kyu (Infinite), the 80-minute gala concert introduces audiences to some of Korea’s best known actors and K-Pop stars including Michael K. Lee, Kyoungah Min, Kanghyun Park, Hweseung Yu (N.Flying), Sophie Kim, Sunah Jeong, and Junho Son.

It will feature incredible musical numbers, not only from the beloved worldwide productions including Man of La ManchaAida, and Cats, but also from the representative K musical numbers: Musical TurandotFrankensteinThe Man Who Laughs, and Bungee Jumping of Their Own.

Chairman of the DIMF Executive Committee, Bae Sung-hyuck, said: "I very much look forward to introducing K musicals to musical fans all over the world through a solid partnership between DIMF, the large-scale musical festival in Asia, and Broadway On Demand. I hope this is the first step for more to come.”
