American composer Stephen Schwartz, aided by Chinese rock star Cui Jian, will pen part of the score for a new musical about Hans Christian Andersen.
The musical will be one of many events marking the 200th birthday of the Danish fairy-tale writer. Called “Mit Eventyr,” or “My Fairy Tale” in English, the $3.5-million production will debut in Copenhagen in October 2005.
The musical, written in English, will tell the story of Andersen waking up inside the fairy-tale world he created. To get back to the real world, he has to interact with his famous creations.
