First round of Shanghai performances of the Chinese version of the musical Phantom of the Theatre will conclude this week. "Phantom of the Theater" has quite high requirements for the actors' singing skills and performances.
It highlights the urgency of the current musical theater industry to cultivate all-round actors. The Chinese version is twice as good as the Broadway classic, producer Ma Chencheng says. But the biggest obstacle that has plagued the local industry is the upstream industrial chain and downstream of the funds.
