Park Eun-tae Unveils the Deeper Meaning Behind the 'Dual Roles' in 'Frankenstein: The Musical Live'

Musical actor Park Eun-tae has revealed key viewing points to fully appreciate the cinematic adaptation, 'Frankenstein: The Musical Live.'

During a press preview held at Megabox Seongsu on the 9th, Park Eun-tae explained that the film captures the 10th-anniversary performance of the musical 'Frankenstein' staged in 2024. He specifically addressed the audience's curiosity surrounding the unique casting where main actors portray different characters in Act 1 and Act 2, often referred to as 'dual roles.'

"The dual roles are not merely a division of labor," Park Eun-tae clarified. "They symbolize the diverse figures within the cruel world that the 'Monster' encounters." He further elaborated, "These are the faces of the people 'Henri' remembers from Act 1, appearing as 'Victor' but with different identities." Understanding this concept, he believes, allows for a deeper emotional connection to the musical's profound message.

He also encouraged moviegoers to actively engage by cheering and applauding, just as they would at a live stage performance. "Don't worry about the person next to you; enjoy it to your heart's content," he urged.

'Frankenstein: The Musical Live' maximizes the narrative density through its innovative dual-role direction and the actors' wide-ranging performances. The film is set for an exclusive release at Megabox on the 18th.

Park Eun-tae has portrayed the role of 'Henri Dupré/The Creature' since the original musical 'Frankenstein' premiered. He is renowned for his exceptional vocal talent and nuanced acting, anchoring the production. His performance has become synonymous with the iconic 'Frankenstein' musical.
