Frank's masterpiece The Count of Monte Cristo is opening in Seul, Korea April 2010! This will be the first production of the show after its World Premiere and most likely marks the begining of the internationalization of the Musical :)

The Korean website can he visited at http://www.musicalmonte.com/ The website has also snipets of the songs available on the English Concept (if case anyone hasn't(!) heard it :P ) and has also a song without title...that I DON'T think its from the show...

Also, Korean productions normaly produce Cast Recordings (normaly Full ones) so it's time to start putting money aside to buy it! :lol:

I now have some of the leading cast members and the director's name listed on FrankWildhorn.com

The website was retooled and looks AWESOME! :D

New names for the Cast announced:

Choi Min-chul and Cho Hui will share the role of Mondego
Jang Dae-woong will play Danglars

The Korean website has now clips of the recording sessions of the Korean Cast Album of Monte Christo. Which means the CD will probably be released after the premiere :D

Broadwayworld has a couple of photos of the premiere of the show in Korea.

The Korean Cast Album of the show will be released May 3rd.
It will contain 18 tracks. The 13 tracks common to the English Concept and St.Gallen Album (the orchestral tracks are the same), and the other 5 songs are with the alternate Cast.

So far, available for pre-order here but as soon as SoM has it I'll had it here.

Edit: After contacting SoM, they also have now the CD for pre-Order

1. Prologue

Can someone help me fill in the correct names for the cast list? I'm not sure if I'm spelling these the best possible way, and I'm missing a few...

[List removed, see post below for the correct cast credits]

(The cast is listed at http://musicalmonte.com/ under Performance)

I've asked a korean friend if she can help us out. I'll give the info as soon as I get it.
She'll also be seeing the show.
And from what she reports, reviews in Korea aren't the best. They say it's worth to see once but that's it. As usual, the major critics are done to the script.

Thanks, any info is helpful if we can get it.
That's too bad about the reviews.

Got her answer, here is the rest of the Cast list:

Cho Won-hee, Lee Yong-geun - Abbe Faria
Kim Seung-dae, Jeon Dong-seok - Albert
Cho Sun-chang - Villefort
Jang Dae-woong - Danglars
Han Ji-yeon - Luisa
Lee Mi-kyung - Valentine
Lee Jung-soo - Jacopo
Kim Na-moo - Morrel

Excellent, thanks! (And please pass on a thank you to her as well)

I've corrected the names in the song list above, and added these to Frank's website.
