The musical department of Dongseo University celebrated 20 years of excellence this year as it held its 20th Anniversary Musical Festival from May 30 to June 15. The festival, which was supported by the Dongseo University LINC+ business group, staged three works and garnered a number of favorable reviews.
First, the musical Sweet Home was staged by third-year students at the Minseok Theater. The songs in the musical tell how a house is only truly a home when it incorporates the values and awareness of its inhabitants.

Next, the musical Laundry was performed in Chinese. As a joint creation of Dongseo University and the Communication University of China, this work had great significance for the cast and crew as both universities worked together to present it to the audience.
Finally, the Broadway musical Hairspray was staged by fourth-year students at the Centum Campus’s Sohyang Theater. Set in the early 1960s, at a time when people’s hair was thick and stiff with hairspray, the story follows characters who struggle to break free of society’s stereotypes, for which the hairspray becomes a metaphor. This production of Hairspray was a rousing success, and each performance was attended by more than 1,000 people.
