The South Coast Chinese Cultural Center will debut the highly anticipated  "Legends" Original Musical on October 12 at Segerstrom Hall, the largest theater in Orange County. This performance artfully blends Eastern and Western musical instruments to narrate the tales of three legendary figures: Mulan, the Monkey King, and NeZha. Since ticket sales began, all tickets priced over $70 have sold out, indicating strong community support.
 

To enhance the audience experience, the SCCCC will establish two information booths at the venue to offer Chinese-language assistance, urging guests to arrive early to facilitate smooth entry.

As a gesture of gratitude for the audience’s support, the SCCCC will host a "Legends Souvenir Giveaway Event " in the theater lobby on performance day. Attendees can stop by the information booths at the Street and Main Level entrances and show staff that they have followed or scanned SCCCC's social media QR code to receive exciting souvenirs from "Legends,".

The musicians are local talents who excel in both traditional Chinese and Western instruments. The performers portraying the iconic characters are award-winning dancers and representatives of the U.S. national martial arts and gymnastics teams.

Conductor Bin He, responsible for production and direction, shared insights about "Legends," stating that the musical comprises 15 movements, each portraying key moments from the stories of Mulan, the Monkey King, and NeZha

The performance merges traditional Chinese music with orchestral, rock, and pop influences, showcasing the emotional depth, wisdom, and virtues of these historical figures. This is enhanced by traditional dance, martial arts, and gymnastics, providing audiences with an immersive visual and auditory experience.

YuLan Chung ,CEO of the SCCCC,  emphasized her key roles as facilitator and coordinator for the musical "Legends." She described it as a rich cultural experience for children learning Chinese, immersing them in Asian American values.

"Legends" not only supports the center's mission to promote Chinese culture but also reflects its journey from humble beginnings to a powerful voice for the Asian community. The center aims to use the musical to combat anti-Asian sentiment and foster a more harmonious society.

For the cultural center, "Legends" represents a crucial milestone in promoting Chinese culture, aiming to counteract anti-Asian sentiment and foster harmony among diverse communities.

Segerstrom Hall, with a capacity of 3,000 seats, will implement security measures for safety. Hosting "Legends" at this esteemed venue underscores the high artistic standards and elevates the SCCCC's approach to cultural promotion, transitioning from traditional language education and festive events to a comprehensive showcase of performing arts. 

"Legends" is not only an artistic showcase but a cultural fusion that seeks to resonate deeply with all attendees. We eagerly anticipate this extraordinary presentation and hope to inspire a profound emotional connection with the audience. Don't miss the opportunity to witness "Legends" on October 12 at 7:00 PM—mark your calendars and join us for this unforgettable event!

傳奇音樂劇由南海岸中華文化中心的中華樂團、南加舞團和中華武術隊共同演出的大型音樂舞台劇。樂團中的音樂家均來自美國本地,不僅有演奏中國傳統樂器的高手,還有擅長西洋樂器的精英。扮演三位歷史人物的華裔青年,皆為國際舞蹈大賽獲獎者或美國國家武術和體操代表隊成員。
 

負責製作與指揮的中華樂團指揮何彬指出,《傳奇》音樂劇共有15個樂章,分別講述木蘭代父從軍、孫悟空勇稱王和哪吒封神的故事。通過國樂與管弦樂、搖滾樂團及流行音樂的融合,展現了東、西方樂器的互動,並將中國傳奇歷史人物的情感、智慧與亞裔美德,以音樂形式對外傳遞,同時結合傳統舞蹈、武術和藝術體操等元素,為觀眾提供一場沉浸式的視聽盛宴。

在《傳奇》音樂劇扮演「催生」和「統籌」角色的南海岸中華文化中心執行長鍾右蘭表示,對學習中文的孩子來說,傳奇音樂劇是一場視覺和聽覺的文化饗宴,讓孩子在沉浸式環境中,接受亞裔美德的薰陶。
 
對南海岸中華文化中心而言,《傳奇》不僅是為該中心秉持推廣中華文化初衷,從篳路藍縷的艱辛起步,成為亞裔發聲的力量,留下歷史見證,也希望藉由《傳奇》來化解外界仇視亞裔情結,大家攜手共創和諧社會。

Segerstrom Hall是橙縣最大的舞台式劇院,可容納3,000位觀眾,因安全考量,觀眾入場需要通過安檢。《傳奇》音樂劇能在該處上演,不僅彰顯其表演水準獲得認可,也讓南海岸中華文化中心在推廣中華文化的模式,從以往中文教學,舉辦節慶文化活動,提升為表演藝術的全方位展現,為橙縣民眾帶來一場視覺和聽覺的震撼。
