Break Out, the extreme dance comedy from the creative team of the recent Off Broadway hit JUMP, had its New York premiere this fall. This first North American production of the high-energy dance spectacle will play the Union Square Theatre (100 East 17th Street) began performances at the Union Square Theater September 23rd, 2008.
As dance shows like "So You Think You Can Dance" and "America's Best Dance Crew" captivate television audiences, Break Out offers some of the world's most talented dancers performing jaw-dropping choreography in a live stage show that combines hip-hop, gymnastics, yoga, slapstick and more.
The mostly nonverbal dance comedy tells the tale of a night-in-the-life of a group of desperate prisoners whose nightmare existence changes beyond belief when an ancient and sacred text mysteriously drops into the prison. This mysterious arrival inspires the inmates to plan a daring escape into the outside world, where they are able to enjoy a brief, and hilarious, moment of freedom.
Featuring a cast of nuns, nurses and break-dancing villains in the craziest jail break of all time, Break Out is a fun-packed, madcap night out featuring top quality performers, including some of Korea's leading B-Boys from internationally winning crews such as Drifters Crew (Battle of the Year 2006 Finalists), Gamblers Crew (Battle of the Year 2005 Finalists) and Maximum Crew.
Created by Korea's renowned SevenSense Inc., Break Out premiered in Korea in April 2007 and played London's Peacock Theatre the same month. Since then, Break Out has played all over the world, including India, Malaysia, Bangkok, Laos and the 2007 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. A sit-down production opened at the Break Out Theatre in Seoul, Korea in December 2007 where it continues to play to SRO crowds.
The 10-person cast of Break Out includes Dae-Hyeok Lim, Won-Jun Song, Jong-Wook Jeong, Chul-Hee Han, Yong-Nam Song, Jae-Hong Park, Seong-June Park, Ji-Hee Jang, Jin-Hee Kim, Yoon-Hui Choi
