The Dance and the Railroad
Two Chinese laborers (one as teacher, one as student) explore the dance and combat elements of Peking opera in the “The Dance and the Railroad” at Signature Center.
Reasons to like:
- Beautiful Peking opera inspired dance, movement, and combat;
- Charming story by David Henry Hwang set during the 1867 strike by Chinese laborers working on the U.S. transcontinental railroad;
- $25 tickets during initial run (tickets increase to $75 tickets for the extended run); and
- 70 minutes, no intermission.
