DETAILS: This contemporary Chinese musical tells the story of fabled Chinese beauty Wang Zhaojun, who agreed to leave the Western Han imperial harem to be married to a Xiongnu tribal chieftain for the sake of ethnic harmony. Famous Chinese entertainment stars lead the music composition, artistic direction and costume design teams, including Oscar-winner Tim Yip who was artistic director for “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”. The star of the show, and its director, is Li Yugang, 37. Li got his start working in a nightclub and worked his way up to become modern China’s most popular male actor singing and performing female roles. Likened to the reknowned pre-1949 opera performer Mei Lanfang, Li has performed at the Sydney Opera House and is an icon in the contemporary Chinese culture scene. More details
