My Take on Asian Broadway

Broadway. West End. And China.
Musicals are making headway in China! I was incredibly stunned to watch online and read about so many talented local singers in the East! (Featuring pics of Musicals that had been staged in Mandarin over the past years in China!)

Young, committed Chinese pioneers have been relentlessly pushing their way into the psyche of the originally uninterested audience in their own nation. Move over, small gigs! There used to be more actors on stage than audience in seats. Now the tide has turned, thanks to a televised singing competition showcasing the talent of locally-trained young musical theatre actors! (Singing competitions are great catalysts with Asians!)

They are not too proud to adopt a Western art form and with typical Asian work ethic, nurse it to perfection and then gradually birth their own creations.

New Bucket List item – catch a decent musical in Shanghai, not just Broadway or West End! Preferably in Mandarin!

I love celebrating the hard work of successful pioneers! Especially from the East! #LovePioneers #TalentsInTheEast #LookEast #RandomSleeplessNightReads
