問：觀眾對翻譯音樂劇和本地音樂劇的反應分別大嗎？

答：HK ppl can listen and understand English very well, therefore I found most of the ppl will prefer the English version for those Musical in English. And HK isn’t like Japan. Japanese can't understand English but they got the "Four Season Theatre " which produced most all of the translated popular Broadway Show. However in HK, we don't have a big need in translation of those plays in HK. People love Musical in local issue since those plays seems like telling their own story --- HK ppl's story.

12.    

問：他們成功的地方在哪？會向他們學習嗎？

答：yes, will learning every possibilities from other people's success but select those suitable for myself or my company.

 

e) 香港音樂劇狀況: 「藝術」音樂劇

 

13.    

問：會堅持演出藝術性高的音樂劇嗎？

答：How to define 藝術性高的音樂劇? if the audience s quality are high, 藝術性高的音樂劇 can be a pop musical!!!

 

f) 香港音樂劇狀況: Solution

 

14.    

問：香港音樂劇有發展空間嗎？

答：Yes, but need more venue and more investment which may lead to collaboration with other Chinese cities or Asia country. Of cos if ppl invest on Musical, it will become a business. Marketing in big scale like pop concert may happen.

 

15.    

問：怎樣讓更多香港人認識本土的音樂劇？

答：Gimmick! haha may not be good in saying this. But HK ppl love gimmick! Education is a long-term work for helping the promotion of musical as well. Like LA, London and NYC, musical is a popular entertainment, show business rather than a “very artistic” activity. But ppl changes, life changes, habit changes, culture changes... why not? Opera can be a good entertainment in those days, right?
