A celebration was held Sunday for the upcoming opening of the new Broadway musical 'KPOP,' starring real life recording star Luna.

It tells the story of international superstars giving their all for a one-night-only concert amid personal and cultural struggles.

The cast, which features stars of K-pop and musical theater, say they can't wait to make an impact on Broadway with this original musical. "It literally is a dream come true for me, being in a K-pop group for 15 years and now coming to the Broadway stage in America," actor Kevin Woo said. "K-pop music, which is a different genre that Broadway has never seen before ... Something new, something original and something that is accessible for everyone," actress Julia Abueya said.

"KPOP" features Korean, Korean-American and API representation on and off stage. One of its composers, Helen Park, is the first Asian woman to compose a Broadway show.
