Stage

Music dramaWhy Should I Love You, produced by promising mainland composer and singer Xiao Ke, has been widely acclaimed as the best studio-theater work since its debut in late 2007. It narrates a love story between a pretty lady and two men, one of whom wields extraordinary talents in composing and singing, while the other is dashingly good looking. The heroine is impressed when the handsome man sings the perfect song, but she later learns it was actually performed by the other man from behind the scenes. The result is a great deal of confusion about which is her true love.
