Like the original novel by Kevin Kwan and the subsequent hit film, the stage musical will focus on a Chinese American woman named Rachel, whose boyfriend Nick wants her to travel to Singapore with him to meet his family. Once there, she discovers that they are “crazy rich.” A movie sequel is also in development, based on the follow-up novel China Rich Girlfriend.
The musical production is aiming for The Great White Way, but there will first be a pre-Broadway engagement, with more details and dates to be announced soon. ~Mackenzie Heidrick
