Sacrifice has been written and composed by a British
authoring team with an Asian/American stage director for western
eyes and ears. The treasured and famous Chinese story follows
historical fact, but the story has been focused and shaped to
appeal and relate to western audiences.
The production is directed for the stage by
Bobby Garcia and produced by
Toby Simkin. The production will capitalize at around £4m. It is hoped to achieve the Asian workshop
production in 2012 with West End to follow
within the year following the workshop. For Sacrifice,
the Creative Team is very involved in the development of all
facets of the development of the musical, and therefore proven
