Film Review: Elisabeth (2024) (Musical)

Elisabeth (엘리자벳)
2024
PG-13
Musical
Megabox COEX, Seoul

Based on the life of the legendary Austrian Empress and told from the mouth of her convicted murderer, ELISABETH recounts the enthralling tale of her fatal, lifelong love affair with Death. (Synopsis)

Elisabeth is my favourite musical, so I jumped at the chance to watch this filmed version of the 2022 10th anniversary Korean production while I was in Seoul. It was an amazing experience. The filming and sound quality were excellent and the casting was perfection. When it finished, I could easily have gone straight back in and watched it again.  It was wonderful to have this opportunity to see the full Korean version of the show as I think they do a wonderful job with both the staging the translation of the lyrics from the original German. It obviously gets five stars from me.
