NEZHA

Hero Image

Nezha is a thrilling new musical inspired by the legendary warrior god of Chinese mythology.

With an electrifying score by Duncan Walsh Atkins and a bold new book by Teresa Luo and Jennifer Tang, this production fuses modern musical theatre and rap with East Asian storytelling traditions, bringing to life one of China’s most beloved epic tales — the story of a child hero who dares to challenge fate.

Journey with Nezha from his miraculous birth to his epic battle against the tyrannical Dragon Kings, in a powerful story about courage, family, and the discovery of one’s true self.

 

Please note this production is performed in ENGLISH.
