Love Duty Destiny treachery Betrayal Sacrifice

 

 

The first ever mainland Chinese musical, that has been written and composed by a British team, while exclusively aimed at the British, American, European and Australian theatre markets, and being directed & designed by Asian/Western team that will open in the West End prior to it's Broadway run.

The musical is budgeted at an affordable GBP £4 million, including an Asian workshop and a full 1st class production. Weekly expenses will not exceed GBP £200k. Costs are contained due to physical production creation within China, and the carefully developed book and music from the outset considering commercial profitability by keeping cast size and settings contained. This is very reasonable for a large-scale West End musical. The Producers have ensured the production is cost effective whilst still retaining the ‘wow’ factor.

The music will give you a feel for the "east meets west" focus of our development efforts. The composing team has researched and worked with authentic Chinese historical instruments in developing a score that showcases and infuses these sounds into traditional western musical styles.
