The Dream Theatre, the largest musical theater in Korea, is located within a 49-story building constructed as part of the 2nd phase of the BIFC (Busan International Finance Center) development project. The theater occupies three floors, the third to the fifth, in the building, has a seating capacity of 1,727 and is equipped with all the latest theatrical equipment.

The theatre will present its first performance, Disney’s hit musical, ‘The Lion King’ for the first time in Busan from April 11 to May 26, 2019. Renowned musicals, including the Phantom of the Opera and School of Rock are scheduled to be showcased at later dates.
