On May 9 the Chinese production of I Love You will begin a limited engagement at the Westside, playing in rep with the New York version.
Billed as the first time in American theatre history that a foreign production of an American musical will play in the United States, the 23-performance run is a co-production of Shanghai Dramatic Arts Centre and Broadway Asia Entertainment and will play six shows weekly.
The Chinese company will perform the show entirely in Mandarin, with English supertitles projected above the stage. The rep situation continues to June 3.
