As the first original Korean musical to enter the UK West End, it won the Grand Prize, “Złota Konewka” at the Warsaw Music Gardens Festival in Poland, the birthplace of Marie Curie. It has also proved its artistic excellence by winning five awards including the Grand Prize at the 5th Korea Musical Awards.

Marie Curie, a Nobel Prize–winning scientist, believes that the radium she discovered will become a beacon of hope for humanity. However, when co-workers of her friend Anne, a factory worker making radium watches, begin dying from a mysterious illness, she starts to question the safety of radium. Confronted with the tragedy her research has engendered, Marie faces a critical choice about whether to reveal the truth and risk forfeiting her life’s work.

“Marie Curie” offers a delicate portrayal of the moral responsibility and inner struggles of a human being hidden behind great scientific achievements. This production depicts the story of a woman who, despite facing prejudice as both a woman and an immigrant, stays true to her beliefs and joins other women to fight against injustice. It offers audiences a powerful and timeless experience.
