Theater IV presents The Song of Mulan
When Mulan learns that her ailing father is drafted into Khan’s army, she protects him by serving in his place. Disguised as a boy, she risks everything to maintain family honor and earn the love of her nation. This noble Chinese folk tale features an extraordinary heroine, a dynamic and powerful score, gorgeous costumes and one of the most inspiring stories of all time.
Remounted by Theatre IV under the direction of Susan Sanford, “The Song of Mulan” is colorful and upbeat, with a theatricality that upstages its muted message. Sanford’s cast of eight works hard to seem like a larger company and, with Mercedes Schaum’s lush scenic design, the Empire Theatre’s stage seems full.
The Song of Mulan continues at the Empire Theater through Valentine’s Day.
