Don’t Cry, Dancing Girls, an original Taiwanese musical performed in Chinese, will have its first New York City workshop with invitation-only presentations January 23–25 at Theatre Row.

Penned by Taiwanese playwright Jie ZHAN (ACC 2016) and composer Ho-Hsiang Kan, the new musical is inspired by a family’s return to their rural roots after the death of their father. The production weaves together Daoist and Buddhist death rituals, Taiwanese folk traditions, and a folk-rock score.

Hui-Cheng Tseng will direct a cast led by Taiwan actors Ching-Chia Chang, Fang-Yu Chang, Chengyu Lu, Neng-An Kung, Wen-Hao Yeh, Wei Wang, Szu-Yu Tseng, Ya-Chieh Hu, Min-Chieh Li, Hui-Sen Huang, Wan-Yi Chou, and Yi-Hao Huang, joined by New York-based actor Albert Hsueh (Pacific Overtures at Signature, The King and I at Drury Lane) as the Narrator.
