Kim's Convenience, a Canadian sitcom that debuted in 2016 depicting a Korean Canadian family running a convenience store, has overtaken London's West End debuting as a live theater production! We will give you all the details on why this play has taken the UK by storm and why it has sold out!
According to Park Theatre's head of ticketing, almost every performance in its more than four-week run is completely sold out, and Kim's Convenience is on track to be one of the best-selling shows in the venue's 11-year history!
Kim's Convenience tells the immigrant story of a Korean Canadian family and parents who want to displace themselves for the betterment of their family. In my opinion, since I'm from the UK, London is the best place for this immigrant comedy to take place, due to its rich history and diverse culture!
Let's take a look at this teaser!
With the first season airing in 2016, Kim's Convenience has become a comedy favorite for many. It tells the funny and heartfelt story of the Kim family, Mr. and Mrs. Kim. They are Korean Canadian convenience store owners who have worked hard to give their now-twenty-something children, Janet and Jung, a better life in Canada. This single-camera comedy finds laughter in the trials of running a literal "Mom and Pop" shop while raising kids in a culture not quite your own. Because of the diverse background that the UK has become, London is the best place for this performance as many people will be able to relate to the struggles that come with moving to a new country.
