Soul of China transported to the heart of New York

A group of 33 young Chinese martial artists bring their true understanding of Shaolin kungfu in Soul of Shaolin to Broadway for the first time. The show contains spectacular Chinese kungfu - foot kicking, fist punching, high jumping and yelling as actors break sticks and bricks over their heads and bodies.

Having toured various countries and featured at the Beijing Olympics, the show also marks the Broadway debut of an original Chinese production and celebrates the Lunar New Year.

Soul of Shaolin tells the story of a young boy, Hui Guang, who is separated from his mother by war. Hui is then found and raised by the legendary monks of Shaolin Temple, a Buddhist monastery in Henan province, which is long famous for its association with the Chinese martial arts. After growing up, Hui becomes an accomplished Shaolin kungfu master and embarks on a spectacular journey of self-discovery.
