When Ultimate Broadway, a gala musical theater show in Shanghai, held an audition for 10 ensemble members in London, nearly 1,000 applicants turned up.
Show director Paul Warwick Griffin, a veteran of musicals in the West End of London, says that proves the reputation of the show.
Ultimate Broadway was created in 2011, when Shanghai was launching a new theater venue, Shanghai Culture Square, especially for musical performance. The show was such a success that it made a comeback in 2012.
