The Broken Bridge is a symbol of love in China, a symbolic place immortalized in the legend Madame White Snake. In the folktale, the spirit of a white snake disguised as a young lady meets her love on the bridge over Hangzhou's West Lake. Now Hangzhou Theater has adapted the idea into a contemporary musical telling the love story happening in 1940s China. The production features a script written by Tian Ding and music by Qi Feng. Directed by the renowned Wang Xiaoying, the musical The Broken Bridge has toured around China for 136 shows since its premiere in 2011 in Hangzhou.
