BLUE BLIND to Play Laurie Beechman Theater, Bowery Electric and More

Blue Blind is a groundbreaking contemporary musical inspired by the beloved Korean folktale Shimcheongjeon. Reimagined through a modern lens, the production blends East and West, tradition and innovation, to deliver a strikingly original theatrical experience. With a score that fuses Pansori and opera, Korean folk music and rock, Blue Blind transcends the boundaries of genre and culture. At its heart stands a redefined Shimcheong-not a passive figure of sacrifice, but a modern woman of agency, determination, and resilience, whose story speaks powerfully to today's audiences.

First produced in Korea by acclaimed actress and producer Hae-mee Park, the work was later invited to New York, where it made its Off-Broadway debut. Now returning in concert form, Blue Blind continues its journey as a bold exploration of love, sacrifice, and the human spirit.

To further celebrate and share Korean culture, Korean-American community leaders contribute by offering traditional foods and beverages, while artist Jungtae Lee enriches the experience with his artwork-highlighting the beauty and depth of Korean heritage.

Enhancing the experience is a thrilling Taekwondo performance, offering audiences an unforgettable glimpse into Korean culture while showcasing the transformative power of music and theatre across borders.
