AGATHA, a Korean original musical inspired by the real eleven days in December 1926 when the crime novelist Agatha Christie vanished, is coming back to the stage. According to notices on YES24 Ticket and NOL Ticket, the new season opens on December 9 and runs until February 28, 2027 at NOL Seokyung Square Scone Hall 1 in Seoul. The first block of tickets goes on sale on Wednesday, November 4 at 3 PM KST, covering performances from December 9 to 20.
The story is set in 1953, 27 years after the disappearance, when Raymond, a writer in a slump, reopens the case to trace the nightmare that keeps haunting him. Moving between 1926 and 1953, and between reality and fantasy, it fills in the missing eleven days like a detective story. The production follows its 10th-anniversary season of 2023, and this year also marks 50 years since Agatha Christie's death (The Musical, October 22). For the first time, the role of Raymond, played until now by men, is cast gender-free with a female actor in the rotation.
Who is in the cast?
Choi Su-jin, Baek Eun-hye and Lee Jeong-hwa return as Agatha from the previous season. The book and lyrics are by Han Ji-an, the music by Heo Su-hyeon, and Kim Ji-ho directs.
