Thank you for the information! Now I vaguely remember seeing something about the tour of the musical on the paper a long time ago. I live in Oklahoma where the Korean tours almost never come. I would love to see the performing tour groups when they come to the large cities in the US, but they don't advertise far enough ahead for people like me who need to have more than a week's notice.
I remember learning about the queen in high school, and I know exactly what you mean about your blood boiling. We had a history teacher who wept when she told us about the brutal assassination of the queen. We all end up getting very upset and sobbing the rest of the class.
I always wanted to know more about this queen and have been waiting for someone (preferably a woman who understands what it is like to be an independent and strong woman ahead of her time) to present the queen's life and death in the true historian's view. I have a novel titled under her name, but it is hard to tell the facts from the speculations from a novel.
Now that I hear about your description of the musical, I desperately want to see it. I don’t know if they still have the tours or the production, but I intend to find out. Thank you for sharing your opinion on it. I also intend to look for the video tape "The Lost Empire" when I go to the Korean grocery store next time (which is an-hour-and-a-half away).
Oh, about your name - I think it is unique and neat as it is (and yes, it's long), and I should have honored the way you spell it. I tend to shorten people's names without the owners' permission just because I am a lazy typist. Sorry. How irritated I would be if someone calls me "Ram" or "Bee" to save a few seconds in typing! :-)
I had watched '명성황후'as a musical two years ago. Have you ever seen it?
The plot and arrangement of stage were great better than I watched before.
In fact, I hadn`t had expectation about our musicals.
However, it`s a miracle.
Beautiful music and fashionable clothes were attractive to me.
And 'patriotism' was growing again and again in the middle of watching it. When`Samurai's urinated to her dead body, I couldn`t be patient. So, my heart was likely to burn. She was a wise, brave, and thoughtful woman I felt.
Hero was made from a difficult period I heard. May be the person can be brave and strong whenever he gets over such difficulties.
As a matter of fact,that song sung by 'Su Mi Jo' is not concerned with that musical. That song is from a certain music video tape as ' The lost Empire' (The country that I dreamed ). Right?
