The extreme dance comedy Break Out will make its New York premiere, directed by Jun-Beom Juen.
Written and created by SevenSense Inc., the piece 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.

Read what our TM Insiders had to say about Break Out!
Outstanding performance from start to finish. I smiled ,Laughed alomost p%$^^ my pants. Unbelievable use of a stage and audience. I still cant recall all that went on. Isnt that the way a show should be? Atheletic, aerobic, brek dance, beatbox, yoga, comedy, Incredible. Have recommended many others to see a show that would sell out Broadway. If it were on Broadway you couldnt get a ticket. So why wait. Go Now. This has got to make Broadway. But remember where the rubber pants.
