Abstract
In recent years, the Chinese musical industry has been developing rapidly since the Broadway musical Les Misérables began its tour through China in 2002. Local production companies have imported musicals' copyrights and produced the Chinese version of works while using local cast and language, although the market performance of those adapted works was not guaranteed. This thesis aims to find out what Chinese local production companies are doing in order to create a successful show. Seven Ages (Beijing) Culture Investment Co., Ltd. and China Dream Live Entertainment Co., Ltd. (CDE Live) are two Chinese production companies that focus on musicals; they both consist of teams equipped with highly experienced professional producers and experts. In the last several years, these two companies created a series of Chinese versions of musicals from Broadway and the Western world. This thesis explores relevant producing experiences and their current and future needs for development.
