COMING SOON TO BROADWAY
FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE: The Musical has just announced it will tour Japan starting in September. Gaze on this image and think of what you're missing, Broadway.
Also, don't forget SUZ IMPRESSION, the WORLD OF SUZIE WONG musical that's making its way from Hong Kong to Shanghai, then to North America. Holy co-opting cultures! A Hollywood movie about Hong Kong, turned into a Hong Kong musical, and then shipped back to the US? The show does sport one song, "Happy Every Day", by the late great Hong Kong composer, James Wong.

Comments
Is this different from the FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE Ballet performed by the Shanghai Dance Troupe? If not, then it's not quite a "musical" in the traditional sense.
Note that this is the second major ballet based on a movie in the past few years, as the Beijing Ballet performed RAISE THE RED LANTERN several years ago.
