The musical ‘Aladdin’, which was listed as one of the ‘most anticipated’ productions for the second half of the year, suffered a string of bad news ahead of its official opening. This is because of the personal problems of Kim Jun-soo, who is a ‘superstar’ in both name and reality in the performing world, followed by the injury of actor Seo Kyung-soo, who was cast together with Kim Jun-soo, and the delay in his arrival at the theatre. Despite this, ‘Aladdin’ is already one of the ‘best hits’ of the year, unaffected by any of the above.
