A homegrown new musical, ``Polaroid'' starring singer-turned-actor Andy, former member of all male group Shinhwa and former Miss Korea Lee Honey, will go on stage from July 1 to Aug. 24.

The musical will tell a romantic, once-in-a-life-time love story through Polaroid photos.

The musical draws attention as hit maker director Sung Jae-jun and music director Won Mi-sol who teamed up for ``Music In My Heart'' will work together again for this new musical. ``Music In My Heart'' is renowned as a must-see musical for couples for its catchy numbers and well-written story by Sung and Won.

The former Miss Korea will make her debut in the musical, taking the role of Se-yeon, a graduate student who falls in love with Jun-hyuk played by actor Kim Do-hyun. Lee said that she will show her musical talents on stage for the first time.

This is Andy's second musical, his first being ``Music In My Heart.'' He will play the role of Jung-ho, an innocent guy who stands by the female lead Seon-young, waiting for her to return to him.

Andy is currently enjoying huge popularity on MBC's ``We've Got Married.''

The musical will be staged at PMC Theater in Daehangno, central Seoul, July 1-Aug. 24. The show will start at 8 p.m. on weekdays except for Mondays, 4 and 7 p.m. on Saturdays, and 3 and 6 p.m. on Sundays. Hyewha Station, line No. 4, exit 1.

Tickets cost 40,000 won. For more information, call (02) 738-8289.
