COMFORT WOMEN: A New Musical Releases Original Off-Broadway Cast Album

The original Off-Broadway cast recording of "Comfort Women: A New Musical" will be available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Music and other streaming sites beginning on December 7th 2018.

"Comfort Women: A New Musical", written by Dimo Hyun Jun Kim, Osker David Aguirre, and Joann Malory Mieses, with music by Bryan Michaels and TaeHo Park was nominated for the Best Off-Broadway Musical by BroadwayWorld and has received critical acclaim for shedding a light on the untold story of 'comfort women.'

Set in Korea under Japanese colonial rule, "Comfort Women: A New Musical" tells a story about a Korean teenage girl named Goeun who embarks on a journey to Tokyo to make money for her family, but ends up at a 'comfort station' in Indonesia, where hundreds of teenage girls were abducted and forced to become sex slaves, also known as 'comfort women,' for the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II. The musical evolves around the stories of Goeun and other 'comfort women,' and the audience witnesses how such a tragedy can permanently and painfully transform the life of a young woman.

Abigail Choi Arader stars as Goeun Kim, with Matheus Ting as Minsik Lee, Leana Rae Concepcion as Namsoon Lee, Roni Shelley Perez as Soonja Ma and Kenny Mai as Matsui Kazuo.
