'My Princess' to become a musical

MBC's popular romantic drama, "My Princess", will be remade into a musical! There's a lot of excitement from the Korean musical community, as it was revealed that�Lee Ji Na was named as its director, and popular composer Kim Hyung Suk will be in charge of the music. Lee Ji Na directed numerous musicals like "Midas Touch",�"Hedwig", "Greece", "The Great Jang Geum", and "The Phantom of the Opera". Meanwhile, composer Kim Hyung Suk has worked with some of Korea's biggest names in the music industry: his works with�Shin Seung Hoon, Sung Shi Kyun, and Kim Jo Han have made his name especially popular amongst ballad fans. With�Song Seung Hun and�Kim Tae Hee gaining much love as the "pure-eyed couple", the musical is now facing the difficult task of casting lead actors who could follow in their footsteps. A curtain call publisher stated, "I believe that the unique material of the reconstruction of Imperial Korea will fit well with the music and a new musical will be born. I expect there will be much discussion about the musical because of the popularity of the drama." He added, "Currently, a script is in the works and a huge audition will be held this June to cast the lead roles. After preparations are complete, we will meet the audience for 80 showings in March 2012." Source: Osen
