Abstract:
The one act musical Hong Kong is an original work of musical theatre with
music, lyrics, and story all written by the composer. The musical is set in twentyfirst
century Hong Kong, and the plot is about how the 1980s‐born generation
strives against realities in a capitalistic world. It is written in the style of
commercial theatre popular to Broadway musicals. The instrumentation of Hong
Kong is similar to that of standard Broadway rock musicals: a rock band
including drums/ percussion, piano/ keyboard, guitar, electric bass, clarinet, and
strings.
