T-ara‘s über-popular “Roly-Poly” received a remake with “Roly-Poly in Copacabana“, and now it’s being made into a musical.
“Our Youth Roly-Poly” is the combined effort between T-ara’s agency Core Contents Media andCulture Action, who’ve put together projects like ‘My Mother‘ and ‘I Really, Really Like‘.
The production company stated, “Our goal is to offer nostalgia to the generations of people who want to revisit their youth. We will offer them the music, the places, and the stories they saw and heard in their younger days.”
The musical will be directed by Han Jin Sub, who’s directed ‘Mamma Mia‘, ‘Gambler‘, ‘I Love You‘, ‘Dae Jang Geum‘, ‘Kiss Me Kate‘, ‘Duet‘, and more. He will be using the MV of “Roly-Poly” as the foundation of his play, adding different stories and events to bulk up the content.
Meanwhile, the choreography will be put together by Kang Ock Soon, who’s worked on the choreographies for ‘My Mother’, ‘March of the Youth‘, and ‘The Blonde is Too Much‘ in the past.
The show promises to be a well-rounded performance offering versatile entertainment, and features some new musical actors who underwent two-day auditions for their parts.
