Features: Chinese musical theatre has undergone nearly three decades of arduous development and has achieved remarkable results worldwide. To provide more repertoire references for musical theatre education, address the ability of musical theatre actors to perform Chinese works during training, and fill the gap in vocal teaching materials for Chinese musical theatre, we have collected and organized the classic songs from nearly 30 original Chinese musicals over the past two decades. This collection, titled "Selected Vocal Works of Chinese Musical Theatre," is divided into two volumes in chronological order of the works' creation, featuring 60 classic songs. The main focus is on the musical scores of these songs, supplemented by plot summaries, introductions to the works, photos, and information about the creators and main performers. This enables learners to better grasp and handle the works, gaining a more comprehensive understanding of the entire musical. For musical theatre professionals, this textbook not only reviews the history of Chinese musical theatre but also provides experience and reference for its future creation and development. It serves as an informative read to popularize Chinese musical theatre, becoming a window for enthusiasts to explore the world of Chinese musical theatre.
