Broadway musical comedy "42nd Street" will kick off its eight shows in
Beijing on Nov. 13, the fifth stop of its China tour.
Its performance in four Chinese cities, especially China's economic hub
Shanghai, has been very successful, said the organizer Beijing Oriental Broadway
International Theatre Management Co. Ltd, in a press release yesterday.
It first gave 23 shows in Shanghai and has toured other cities since
September, the organizer said.
The musical will be taken to another four Chinese cities after six days in
Beijing.
The musical, telling the story of Peggy Sawyer, a young chorus girl who works
her way up to become a Broadway star, won the Tony Award in 1981 and 2001.
