The production team announced on May 7 that the show will continue performances at the D-Cube Arts Center in Seoul from June 17 to July 20, after originally planning to close on June 1. The extension comes in response to consistently sold-out performances and a wave of celebrity endorsements that have helped boost buzz.

Originally debuting at the Woori Art Hall in Olympic Park on April 5, Again, Dream High reimagines the hit K-drama by following the original characters—now adults—as they return to Kirin Arts High School. The musical is praised for its dynamic stage presence and its heartfelt message of perseverance and chasing one’s dreams, especially in the K-pop industry.
