Comfort Women : A New Musical

Comfort Women : A New Musical Comfort Women: A New Musical, directed by Dimo Hyun Jun Kim Comfort Women gives voice to a story that has been silenced far too long.

Comfort Women is based on the real-life accounts of a few of the approximately 200,000 women who were trafficked into sexual slavery by the Japanese Army from 1930- 1945. Women and girls as young as 14 were coerced or kidnapped from their homes and forced to service 50 to 100 soldiers a day. As a result of this treatment, combined with unsafe practices, only 25- 30% of these women survived the war

, and those who did live were forever changed. Writer/Director Dimo Hyun Jun Kim, originally from Seoul Korea and is delighted to be making his Off-Broadway debut with Comfort Women: A New Musical. Kim, a student of City College, conceived this production while in a playwriting class at the school where his teacher Kathleen Potts called for “a political social issue play,” according to Kim. So he asked if he could write about the comfort women of South Korea because it was something he grew up with, something he knew about that always bothered him. Later when his idea gained traction, many of his classmates, and even some of his professors, including Potts came onboard as team members to help bring the play to the stage. During World War II, approximately 200,000 women – and young teenagers – from across Asia were forced into sexual slavery at “comfort stations” for the Imperial Japanese Army. Inspired by testimonies from the women survivors, COMFORT WOMEN: A New Musical features a cast of fifty-three Asian/Asian American actors to tell these stories which are excluded from history books. Each audience member will receive a copy of CAN YOU HEAR US: The Untold Narratives of Comfort Women. A portion of proceeds will go to "House of Sharing," the home for surviving Comfort Women living in South Korea. Comfort Women: A New Musical is Directed by Dimo Hyun Jun Kim. Music by Bryan Michaels & TaeHo Park, and Lyrics by Bryan Michaels. Written by Dimo Hyun Jun Kim, OskerDavid Aguirre, Joann Malory Mieses, and Produced by Matthew Thomas Burda & Dimo Hyun Jun Kim.
