China Breaks Into Las Vegas Show Business
"PANDA!" — the first Chinese-produced show to take up a long-term residency on the famous tourist corridor — also takes pains to weave in Chinese folklore and motifs, including sweeping views of an ultra-modern Beijing skyline on giant LCD screens. The show is produced by the team behind the 2008 Beijing Olympics opening and closing ceremonies.
Outcomes:
Experts say shows like the Vegas one are part of an effort in recent years to bring greater attention to China's cultural offerings.
"I hope that the show provides an opportunity for cultural bonding and shared mutual reference, so that Chinese culture will have a tighter bond with other cultures," said Zhong Min Xu, producer of the Vegas show, answering questions by email through a translator.
