2013년, 뮤지컬 스타들의 등용문이라고 불리는 ‘헤드윅’에 손승원이 캐스팅 되었을 때, 대다수의 관객들은 기대보다는 우려 섞인 걱정을 하고 있는 것 같았다. 하얀 피부에 짙은 눈썹, 예쁘장하게 생긴 손승원이 과연 ‘헤드윅’의 무게를 이겨낼 수 있겠냐며. 마찬가지로 손승원 본인도 ‘헤드윅’의 무게는 쉽게 감당할 수 있는 정도가 아니라는 것을 알고 있었다.

하지만 손승원은 온통 붉고, 뜨거운 배우가 맞았다. 연습에 연습, 그리고 연습을 거듭해 그 어떤 배우보다 성공적인 ‘헤드윅’ 무대를 치뤄냈기 때문이다. 2009년, 뮤지컬 ‘스프링 에웨이크닝’으로 데뷔해서 지금까지 ‘쓰릴 미’, ‘밀당의 탄생’, ‘트레이스 유’, ‘헤드윅’, ‘히스토리 보이즈’ 등 굵직한 작품에서 선 굵은 연기를 선보이며 여전히 성장하고 있는 배우, 손승원. 컬쳐엠매거진이 다가오는 6월말, 뮤지컬 ‘베어 더 뮤지컬’로 돌아올 배우 손승원을 만났다.
