When immigrants settle down in the United States, their own culture becomes part of the American culture, that's why the country is often referred to as the melting pot, said Chen.

"Like America at its best, Dragon Spring Phoenix Rise is about shared cultural values and experiences," Chen said.

Ever since its world premiere in June, the musical was applauded by many as one that bridged Chinese and western cultures.

Chinese Consul General in New York Huang Ping said the production showcased the talents of Chinese artists on world stage and presented the essence of the Chinese culture. He hopes the production team will create more works that are popular with both Chinese and American audiences, and promote people to people exchanges between the two countries through the medium of art.
