Musical 'Matahari', which marks the grand finale season, will be performed at LG Art Center Seoul and LG SIGNATURE Hall until the 2nd of next month, creating a perfect three-beat with three-dimensional narratives of Matahari and other characters in the play, beautiful music by Frank Wildhorn, and passionate performance by actors 'Trust and watch'. Musical 'Matahari', which organically blends the three elements of the musical, gave the audience who visited the venue a deep sense of immersion and completed 'Complete Season'.
The next season is the grand finale season, the last chance to meet 'Matahari' who doesn't know when he'll return, as he foresees a major change in stage sets and others.
Musical 'Matahari' was created based on the true story of the beautiful martial artist 'Matahari' (real name Magaretta Gertur de Zelle), who was arrested and shot by French authorities on double espionage charges during World War I. It is EMK Musical Company's first creative musical, with composer Frank Wildhorn and lyricist Jack Murphy joining the show, led by executive producer Eom Hong-hyun, who led musicals 'Rebecca', 'Laughing Man', 'Beethoven Secret'.
In this season, the dramatic story line of the musical 'Matahari', beautiful music, and the actors' immersive performance provide a more thrilling stage than ever. The work convincingly captures a series of processes in which Magaretta, who lived a miserable life, was reborn as a worldwide martial artahari, and she was forced to become a spy for survival. In addition, the love of the fascinating Muhee Matahari and the pure young Armand and the conflict with Colonel Radu are also receiving great acclaim for their detailed lighting.

The actors' passionate performances that complete the narrative of the musical Matahari also arouse the audience's admiration. In particular, Ok Joo-hyun and Sola, who play Matahari, are drawing attention with their overwhelming presence, outstanding singing skills, and delicate acting skills. Ok Joo-hyun, who took the stage as Matahari from the premiere stage in 2016 to the grand finale season, has been receiving loud applause every episode for completing a perfect character that has been criticized as 'Matahari's incarnation'. Solar, who received great acclaim for her role as Matahari in the previous season, completed her own Matahari this season with a deeper acting and outstanding singing skills based on an appealing voice.
Meanwhile, the musical "Matahari" was recognized for its cinematic quality by winning three consecutive months when it premiered in 2016, surpassing 100,000 viewers within eight weeks of its opening, and winning three awards for musical of the year, stage arts, female popularity, stage arts, producer, and grand prize at the 12th Golden Ticket Awards.
In the 2017 reenactment, it topped the reservation link for two consecutive months and surpassed 200,000 cumulative viewers, winning the 6th Yegreen Musical Awards' Best Revival Award and the Best Actress Award. As a result, after exporting licenses to Japan in 2018, it finished a successful performance in Japan, making it a perfect global musical.
