Musical 'Red Book' Inspires Self-Discovery: 'Be the Voice of Yourself'

The musical 'Red Book,' which portrays the delightful and heartwarming journey of 'Anna' finding her true self against the rigid norms of the era, is receiving rave reviews from audiences.

Set in 19th-century London, the story delves into the meaning of genuine communication as 'Anna,' who refuses to be bound by conventions and speaks her mind, and the pure gentleman 'Brown' learn to understand and respect each other.

The production transcends a mere narrative about women. It offers encouragement to all those who strive towards their dreams, yet sometimes falter and hesitate, urging them to "make the choice that is most 'you.'"

Notably, the stage, reflecting 'Anna's' imagination, creates a dreamlike and fantastical atmosphere using LED visuals and diverse lighting. The beautiful musical numbers enhance audience immersion and add depth to the play's narrative flow.

'Red Book' strongly advocates for living as the "first 'me,'" rather than a "second someone" shaped by societal expectations or others' judgments. It also speaks to the value of true love, where individuals adapt to each other, emphasizing the importance of "listening to the voice of loved ones" to avoid losing them.

With a stellar cast including Ok Joo-hyun, Ivy, and Min Kyung-ah as Anna, and Song Won-geun, Ji Hyun-woo, and Kim Sung-sik as Brown, the enriched 'Red Book' will meet audiences until December 7th at the Universal Arts Center.

This production transforms the question mark of "Who am I?" into an exclamation point of "I am the voice of myself," offering audiences a special experience of rediscovering and embracing their forgotten selves.

Netizens are praising 'Red Book' with comments like, "A top musical that makes you reflect on yourself," "My ears were blessed by all the amazing numbers," and "The performances by the actors playing Anna were impressive," expressing deep emotion and lasting resonance.
