Girls’ Generation’s Sunny has been cast in the musical “Catch Me If You Can”, based on the hit Hollywood movie.
Sunny will be playing the role of Brenda, the main love interest of the protagonist of the story, Frank Abagnale Jr. The story revolves around Frank’s life as a con artist who forges checks to pay himself millions as he turns himself into a fake doctor, lawyer, and even an airline pilot, all while constantly staying one step ahead of the chase from FBI agent Carl Hanratty. He finds a young girl, Brenda, whom he falls in love with but is unable to tell the truth about who he really is.
“Catch Me If You Can” was turned into a successful Broadway musical and is now hitting the stage in Korea. Among the other actors that will be in the musical are CSJH The Grace’s Dana, who will share the role of Brenda with Sunny and Choi Woori, and SHINee’s Key and Super Junior’s Kyuhyun, who will play the role of Frank.
Sunny will soon join her fellow Girls’ Generation members Taeyeon, Jessica, and Tiffany as a musical actress. Upon hearing the news of Sunny’s casting, fans quickly voiced their excitement, trending “Catch Me If You Can” worldwide on Twitter.
“Catch Me If You Can” will run from March 28th through June 10th with performances on Tuesdays through Saturdays at 4pm and 8pm, and Sundays at 3pm and 7pm at Bluesquare Samsung Card Hall. The official website for the musical also released a short teaser, which you can view below. Congratulations to Sunny and good luck in “Catch Me If You Can”!

hwaiting SUNNY~~~~ looking forward to your musical! :D
just found out about this musical today. Seems like it caught a lot of people by surprise, since there was no previous word about it. I’m excited! Lots of SMers in this one, and some like Sunny are going to make their musical debut! Best of luck to her, I’m sure she’ll be excellent. Only thing i wish is that i could see this for myself.
Wow! Sunny you never told me that about the musical. OMG! Sunny I just want to wish you good luck in the musical Catch Me If You Can. And maybe you can catch me if you can Sunny.
Just kidding. I hope I’ll see the youtube video of the best musical okay Sunny. And like I said good luck the best musical.

Some have admitted that musicals are the hardest artistic endeavors they partake in. Do you think that scares or intrigues our girls? Yeah…that’s what I thought…Sunny is ready for this challenge and will do a great job!!!
I’m so excited for Sunny! She gets to be in a musical. I’m so glad and now she can show off her wonderful voice.
I wonder who she will be with though Kyuhyun or Key.. hmm..
and to think, just weeks ago she was talking about how she doesn’t yet consider herself a serious actress! Well guess what Sunny – YOU ARE! Congrats on joining the world of the stage!
I hope you and all of the girls rest well with how busy you guys are with individual activities on top of group ones!
It’s nice seeing the members start doing musical one by one. It’s like making a step to prove themselves as artists, not just idols. Wish to see others in their musicals too. Some of them are lead actresses for some dramas now. SNSD is really a talented group!
Anyways, congratulations to your musical debut Sunny unnie! Wish you all the best! BUT, don’t push yourself too hard. Take care and rest well too unnie! Sunny bunny hwaiting!

Go Sunny bunny!!! Congrats on snagging the role of this awesome successful musical, you’re gonna do fantastic. I’ll be rooting for you all the way from Fl, USA. That’s 4 Soshi now having experience in musicals and wow her one is longer. Gosh I hope she won’t be too exhausted and with their International promotions plus their new comeback album. Too much on these babes and they’re willing and eager to do more music for their S♥NEs. Take care girls and please try to be healthy and get as much rest as possible. Thanks SSF!
p.s. I’ve seen the movie with Leo DeCapri and it was good and in the end he joins the FBI to catch crooks like himself. ;)
Godspeed Sunny.
I confident that you can do this.
daebak!
how do we find out which shows are the ones Sunny will be doing?
gosh… its the holidays in June! would I totally make a trip to Korea for the musical?!?!
There’s a Musical from CMIYC ? I like the film but never knew it would become one because it seems odd to see that transition. But that’s just insane. Well, it’s a great beginning for her to continue building her resume as an actress. I wonder what character she’ll portray.
Taeyeon, Jessica, Sunny, Tiffany are Musical Actresses
Yuri, Sooyoung, YoonA and Jessica again are Actresses
Only Seohyun and Hyoyeon Unnie are left! hope for them to also have one! ^_^ SNSD congrats on all the Achievements y’all gaining. Always here for you :))))
