Soft Power

By David Henry Hwang, Jeannine Tesori

A Chinese corporation determined to make Shanghai the new Broadway hires an American playwright to write a smash hit musical based on a smash hit Chinese film to premiere at a dazzling new theatre. Referred to by its authors as a "play with a musical" Soft Power exoticizes America by looking at it from a hypothetical future Chinese musical.
