Broadway Lotte Cinema @ Sinsa Station

No class for today and while waiting for my Friday prayer...ㅋㅋㅋ I managed to watch a movie 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' which received raved reviews on the net. I'd been wanting to see it but didn't find any time. So, as the time let me..I searched on the site that not many theaters were showing it any longer except a few. And the nearest one I could come up with...was Broadway Lotte Cinema located at Sinsa Station at Gangnam area...hmm not really included into my daily dosage of adventurous time. But, anyway..I got to go there. As it turned out...Broadway...though seemingly glamour as it may sound...It is NOT. In fact..it's a small theater..more like a home-cinema where each theater can only accommodate up to ..well....70 persons, maybe? or was it only the one where I watched the movie? 

I didn't know. I should've taken more pics but time didn't let me.

Anyway..it's a good experience to be there since now I know where to look at whenever I want to see independent movies.

Yes..it turned out that Broadway theater ..as the name suggests...offers us a chance to see Broadway musical ON the SCREEN. 

Oh my my...why didn't I know that before?

hmm...well, of course..You Tube has been my companion to sneak into Broadway ( the real one)..bu the thought of having a chance to see it on bigger screen...is enticing.

Hmm....planning on a next trip to Broadway Lotte Cinema, Suray?

errrrrr......................

Wicked: The Musical

Musical: The Wicked is coming to Seoul.

The posters and ads on it pop up in every place imaginable. 

The one I bumped into..was at Youido station, line 9. The Wizard of Oz-related musical...is captivating the eyes and attention of passengers. 

even in one station, there are three different posters about this Wicked witch.

I got to admit that Korea (Seoul and other big cities) enjoy the privilege of being able to get exposed to major Broadway productions: either the works are in Korean or in their original cast (by inviting the casts from Broadway NY).

But...either way..it's a sign that Broadway-like business is a lucrative goldmine in Korea.

At The Ballet from A Chorus Line

Glee has sometimes been one of my sources to let me begin my journey into the charms of myriad songs/performances/artists etc. I never knew existed.^^ The other day I listened into Glee's rendition of 'A Chorus Line's At the Ballet" that really captured my ears and eyes, sights and sounds and the glory of the past (the era of '70's). 

I did not know that At the Ballet was one of the long-running Broadway shows until I learned about it through last week aired Glee. 

Now I am hooked into devouring myself into what 

A Chorus Line has (still) to offer for newbie like me. And I am all there for it...
