Nasirdin Afandi: Epic Chinese Musical on Spinning Set
Pasadena Civic Auditorium (Pasadena, CA)
The 720 degree rotating set — a multi-story fantasy of towering minarets and onion domes straight from the pages of Arabian Nights — is just one of the wonders awaiting you in Nasirdin Afandi. Not since Busby Berkeley’s days on Broadway has a production approached this level of visual flair and epic-scale storytelling. Indeed, the show’s heart-rending song, gorgeous costumes, and massive, flawlessly choreographed spectacle have already enraptured audiences in Beijing, Shanghai and Nanjing. And now this Chinese-language musical lands in Pasadena. Combining Chinese and Persian folk elements, Nasirdin Afandi follows a young who aspires to wisdom … even if he must endure all manner of exciting trials and adventures to achieve it. Be there when the acclaimed Musical China Theatre Troupe presents this jumbo-sized family entertainment at Pasadena Civic Auditorium.
