'Jump' Closed July 20th

JUMP, the high flying martial arts comedy, played its final performance on Sunday, July 20, it was announced today by the show's producers, CAMI Ventures, LLC, a subsidiary of Columbia Artists Management, Inc (CAMI).  The show, which opened Off Broadway in October 2007, has played 15 preview performances and 329 regular performances at the Union Square Theatre (100 East 17th Street).

"JUMP has entertained audiences in New York for nearly ten months with its unique brand of physical humor.  We greatly look forward to bringing JUMP to other cities in North America in the coming months," Mark Maluso, President of CAMI Ventures, LLC said.  
 
Created by Korea's renowned Yegam Inc. (Producer, Kyung-Hun Kim/Artistic Director, Chul-Ki Choi), JUMP arrived in New York following wildly successful engagements in Israel, Hong Kong, Macao, Malaysia, Madrid, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Tokyo, Osaka and London. The production is currently enjoying an open run of sold-out shows in Seoul, Korea, with additional engagements set to commence throughout the world.  During its New York run, it became the go-to show for kids and their families.

Set in the interior of a traditional Korean home, JUMP tells the story of an anything-but-typical family.  Each member of the household, from the strict Grandfather to the pretty young daughter, enjoys nothing more than challenging the rest of the family to martial arts showdowns. When two burglars break into the house occupied by three generations of highly trained martial artists, the family turns their expertise on the unexpected guests. The hyperactive sitcom that ensues is the ideal forum for this troupe to show off their extensive training in martial arts, acrobatics, gymnastics and comic acting.
