Video: Behind the scenes of BLENDED 和 (HARMONY): THE KIM LOO SISTERS
On stage May 4th through May 26th, 2024.
Go inside rehearsals and meet the cast of the world premiere musical, BLENDED 和 (HARMONY): THE KIM LOO SISTERS! Besides a behind-the-scenes peek at choreography rehearsal, we chatted with librettist Jessica Huang, composer Jacinth Greywoode, and Mu artistic director/production director Lily Tung Crystal.
BLENDED 和 (HARMONY) runs May 4-26 and tells the true story of the Kim Loo Sisters, four Chinese Polish American sisters who grew up in Minneapolis and went onto Broadway, Hollywood, and overseas during the Swing Era. Created by Jessica Huang and Jacinth Greywoode, the production is directed by Lily Tung Crystal, choreographed by Rush Benson, and inspired by Leslie Li's "Just Us Girls" and "The Kim Loo Sisters." It is a co-production by History Theatre and Theater Mu.
