Dr. Butterfly is a new musical based on the life of JooMyungSeok, a natural scientist who created the first complete map of Korean butterflies during the tumultuous period from World War II through the Korean War. A musical with epic sweep and personal heartbreak, this haunting and beautiful show will enchant and thrill New York theater goers. Direct from a limited run in Korea, this stirring musical even touches upon the science of global warming and the choices we can make to save humankind.
