✨ A little Seoul, a lot of soul, and an evening to remember!

From Korean-inspired cuisine and creative cocktails prepared by our award-winning culinary team, to mid-century jazz and firefly-inspired details, An Evening in Seoul brought the world of the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Maybe Happy Ending to life at Washington Duke Inn.

A special thank you to DPAC Presented by First Horizon for partnering with us to bring this special experience to Durham and to everyone who joined us for a memorable evening of food, music and storytelling.
