Chinese pop heading to Broadway with a jukebox musical

Jonathan Lee, China's godfather of pop, is taking his celebrated songs to Broadway as a jukebox musical this year.

Produced by China Broadway Entertainment, Road to Heaven: Jonathan Lee Musical is adapted from a novel by Li Xiuwen about a man and a woman and a deathly illness and will feature popular songs by Lee.

"I'm delighted to have the opportunity to share my music through a new medium," says Lee. "The idea that my music can reach a new, global audience through the theater is absolutely thrilling."
