Shanghai City Theater - Minhang
District, Shanghai
In November, 2009 Nederlander and Eastern Shanghai International
Culture Film & Television Group established a joint venture in
order to manage and operate theatres in Shanghai. The first such
theatre is the Shanghai City Theatre, located in Shanghai's Minhang
District. Minhang District is a popular residential area of
Shanghai rich in history and known for its education and sports
establishments, advanced technological industries, and Qibao Old
Town (a section of the city 1,000 years old). The first production
to be performed at the new Shanghai City Theatre will be a tour of
FAME-The Musical, produced by Nederlander
Worldwide. Nederlander and Eastern Shanghai also have plans to
operate other theatres together in the future, potentially
including those developed for the new "Modern Theatre Valley" in
Jing'an District Shanghai.
"Creative Beijing" - Haidian
District, Beijing
Nederlander Worldwide has partnered with Shibo Real Estate
Investment Holdings Co in order to develop a cultural plaza in the
heart of the Haidian District of Beijing. Thirty two new
performance spaces are planned as part of this entertainment
district, including a state of the art 2,000 seat Broadway
style-theater. Through this development project Nederlander and
Shibo are both dedicated to improving the quality of Chinese
musicals and plays presented in Beijing, promoting exchange with
Broadway musicals, and enhancing the Chinese cultural industry.
"Modern Theatre Valley" - Jingan
District, Shanghai
Nederlander Worldwide has entered into a strategic cooperation
with Shanghai's Jing'an District to assist in the creation of a new
entertainment district. This "modern theatre valley" will be
modeled after entertainment hubs such as New York's Times Square
and London's West End. "Theatre Valley" will incorporate top
quality theatres such as Shanghai Center Theatre, Shanghai Majestic
Theatre and Paramount along with new theaters and entertainment
facilities. This new entertainment centre will fit in with the
district's urban culture, diverse businesses, and rich cultural
history. This is one of many projects that Jing'an District's
government is working on in order to grow its cultural market and
to expand its film, sports, broadcasting, live entertainment,
tourism, opera and advertising industries and to enhance its
domestic and international cultural exchange.
