Actor Hwang Jung-min returns to the musical stage after 10 years.
The musical "Mrs. Doubtfire" (produced by Sam Company and Studio Sunday) is coming back in 2025 with a new season packed with even more powerful laughter and deep emotion. With a work that encompasses both laughter and emotion, it has won the Producer Award and Makeup Design Award at the 7th Korean Musical Awards, proving both its artistry and popularity, and is ready to capture the hearts of the audience once again in the second half of the year.
This 2025 season features actors with superb acting skills, singing, and comedic talent, heightening expectations. The musical "Mrs. Doubtfire" is the story of a father, "Daniel," who, after a divorce, disguises himself as a nanny, "Mrs. Doubtfire," to get closer to his family.
In particular, Hwang Jung-min, Jung Sung-hwa, and Jung Sang-hoon have been cast in the role of "Daniel," which requires a dramatic transformation through 20 quick changes and witty dialogue, attracting attention. These three actors, each with distinctive personalities and styles, are representative actors of South Korea, equipped with excellent acting skills, stage presence, and a delightful comedic sense. There are already high expectations regarding how they will portray this complex character that navigates between laughter and emotion.
Hwang Jung-min has recently proven his strong box-office appeal by consistently selling out in the theater scene. He chose the musical "Mrs. Doubtfire" as his return to musicals after 10 years. Having showcased a diverse acting spectrum across film, drama, and theater, he is expected to demonstrate the true value of being a "trustworthy actor" once again on this stage.
Jung Sung-hwa, who played the role of "Daniel" in the 2022 premiere, received critical acclaim from audiences and critics for his explosive energy, meticulous makeup performance, and delicate emotional expression. His ability to fluidly transition between this ever-changing character significantly elevated the immersion in the work. He is set to take the stage again this season, promising a "Doubtfire" with even deeper emotional layers and flexible comedic performance.
Additionally, Jung Sang-hoon, who is newly joining this season, is noted for his versatility in both stage and screen, being dubbed an actor with "a thousand faces." His unique acting style, which seamlessly blends comedy and human drama, boasts a perfect synergy with the "Daniel" role that balances joy and sincerity. Expectations are high for a "Doubtfire" created uniquely by Jung Sang-hoon on this stage.
Meanwhile, the musical "Mrs. Doubtfire" will be performed at the Charlotte Theater, the country's first musical theater, from Sept. 27 to Dec. 7, once again reaching the audience with delightful laughter and warm emotion.
