Sunny to kick off musical debut in ‘Catch Me If You Can’!

2012 has barely started but most of the girls in Girls’ Generation are already showcasing and developing their solo activities, with variety shows, dramas and musicals. The next member to challenge musicals after Taeyeon, Jessica and Tiffany, is none other than the cute and lovable Sunny!

Sunny is slated for the Korean version of the Broadway musical ‘Catch Me If You Can’, alongside SHINee’s Key, Super Junior’s Kyuhyun and CSJH’s Dana. Sunny will be one of the actresses playing the character of Brenda Strong, along with Dana and others while Key, Kyuhyun and other actors will play the role of Frank Abagnale, Jr.

The musical is an adaption of the hit movie in 2002 starring Leonardo DiCaprio, which was based on the autobiography of Frank Abagnale, Jr, a con artist, who was constantly chased by FBI agent Carl Hanratty. He falls in love with a nurse, Brenda Strong, when he lied and pretended to be a doctor but eventually, he admits the truth to her.

Sunny’s character, Brenda, will appear in the second half of the musical when Frank goes to the hospital and pretended to be a doctor. The first song in the second half of the musical is ‘Doctor’s Orders’ and Frank will fall in love with Brenda shortly after; interesting and fun scenes between the two are expected in the act.

Brenda will be involved in the following songs of the musical; ‘Doctor’s Orders’, ‘Seven Wonders’ featuring Frank and Brenda, ‘(Our) Family Tree’ featuring Carol, Roger, Brenda, Frank and Strong Family Singers, and finally ‘Fly, Fly Away’ will be Sunny’s solo song.
