The new musical Doctor Zhivago will head overseas later this year.
The show, which stars Anthony Warlow and Lucy Maunder, is currently in its final weeks at Sydney’s Lyric Theatre before it moves to Melbourne and then Brisbane.
AussieTheatre.com understands that the musical, which has garnered generally positive reviews, will most likely open in Korea in November.
It is likely there will be a three month tour.
It is the next step for Doctor Zhivago, which producers hope will eventually go to theatre capitals such as London and New York.
Based on the famous novel by Boris Pasternak, Doctor Zhivago hit the big screen in 1965 as an epic, drama romance by David Lean and created a star of Omar Sharif in the title role. The film remained popular for decades, and as of 2010 was the eighth highest grossing film of all time. Now this epic tale comes to the stage as a powerful and moving musical.
