Musical The Voice of the Silk Road Highlights the Inheritance and Development of the Silk Road Culture

On July 9, Hanjiang Grand Theater of Ankang, northwest China's Shaanxi Province witnessed the successful ending of the Voice of the Silk Road for the media, an original musical themed on the “Silk Road” jointly produced by TCG.SHANNXI and Nederlander Worldwide Entertainment at Broadway, New York.

The Voice of the Silk Road for the media

The musical the Voice of the Silk Road tells the story of a Chinese boy Joey growing up in the West. By coincidence he traveled back to Chang’an of the Han Dynasty dating back to 2,000 years ago. After witnessing major historical events and getting through tough times, he eventually came to recognize his self-identity and the culture that defines him. The classic performance of Broadway singing and dancing highlights the theme of “silk” throughout the plot development and the process of protagonist’s identity and cultural recognition.
