Most theaters in America may be closed, but one musical theater show is not letting that stop it from preparing. “KPOP” is a musical exploring the world of Korean pop music. The producers are doing a video-based casting call worldwide in hopes of being ready when live performances restart. Jason Kim is the playwright, or writer, of the musical. “We really hope as soon as possible to get into a room with all these people and see them in person,” he told the Associated Press. Producers are looking for Korean, Korean American and Asian American men and women in their 20s. They “must be excellent singers” with a strong pop sound and great dancers.
