KPOP officially opened at Circle in the Square Theatre on November 27. Starring South Korean K-pop sensation Luna, with direction by Teddy Bergman and choreography by Jennifer Weber. This energetic musical shines a light on global K-pop superstars and the struggles they face both personally and culturally.
"With mega-watt set design, exquisite choreography, a show-within-a-show storyline and a score that sounds more like a Spotify playlist than a conventional musical's tunes, "KPOP" is elegant, energetic, and exceptional."
- Variety
"These stories are presented awkwardly, sometimes with confusing flashbacks, and mostly feel like filler between the musical productions. The cast is blameless. They are adept at handling the few moments of humor and the abrupt drama in these dialogue scenes. Luna, who has to carry much of the show, is a pro (a veteran of South Korean productions of such Broadway musicals as "In The Heights" and "Legally Blonde.")
- New York Theater
"While this version may not be considered "immersive" like its off-Broadway predecessor, the production pulls out every stop to near the experiential nature previous audiences fell in love with."
- Theatrely
"In its remaking for Broadway I wish "KPOP" had preserved more moments like that: moments that allow you to consider what the excitement of K-pop (for those who feel it) and the expressiveness of American musical theater (likewise) can profitably say to each other. Both have their fans and no doubt their glories, as well as their limitations. But it seems to me that in introducing the two, a good place to have met would have been, well, halfway. "KPOP" still has far to go to get there."

KPOP is a story about what it takes to really make it as a KPOP star... the unceasing commercial drive, the musical talent, and the incredible discipline required to get ahead in this hugely demanding industry. There'll be incredible multimedia effects, epic choreography and of course the KPOP music you've come to love! Directed by Teddy Bergman, this exciting new musical features music and lyrics by Helen Park and Max Vernon.
