The eponymous musical, a Broadway blockbuster, is being staged in Shanghai, offering audiences in China a chance to embark on an inspirational journey through 20^th century American popular music characterized by gospel, R&B, disco, smooth pop and more.

Opening in 1981 on Broadway, the show was performed 1,521 times, and took home six Tony awards, including Best Book of a Musical and Best Choreography. In December 2016, the show's London production marked its West End premiere and went on to scoop Olivier Awards for original stars Amber Riley and Adam J. Bernard.
