Why does it take so long for many Broadway West End plays to be released in China?

Most of the West End Broadway plays are commercial performances. Therefore, if it is introduced, whether it is a domestic organizer or a foreign performer, it must be considered from an economic perspective and evaluate the revenue and profit of the project. At least it cannot lose money. Ignorance can also affect a program's international reputation. There are also many plays, such as "Phantom of the Opera" and "Witches", etc., which have relatively high technical requirements for theaters. For example, "Phantom of the Opera" visited the Shanghai Grand Theater for the first time. The Grand Theater was closed for nearly a month for renovation, and in 2005 After the 100th performance in Shanghai, it took 10 years to appear on the stage in Beijing, mainly because it was not until 2015 that there was a theater in Beijing that met the technical requirements of the play. This is a bit funny to say: Over the past few decades, our government has spent a lot of money on building venues, and it can be said that it is not stingy, but even so, the theaters built are no better than the dozens of theaters in the West End of Broadway. Theaters with a history of 100 years or even 100 years are more than capable of meeting the requirements of many performances, and even made a fool of themselves in terms of theater design and facilities. In addition to hardware conditions, staffing is also a limitation. We are accustomed to government gala-type performances, or traditional performances such as operas and operas. The talent pool for modern new entertainment and commercial performances cannot keep up. Many large-scale formal musicals not only require actors and performers, but also a large number of professional experienced and professional performers. Our country is also seriously lacking in supporting performance support staff with professional spirit of teamwork, such as lighting, sound, stage design, props, costumes, etc. Many of those who engage in these jobs in professional troupes have some experience, but they are quite Lack of professionalism and teamwork attitude. Therefore, when introducing a performance, it is not just about bringing in the people, props and scenery. There are a lot of preparations and requirements that need to be met in the early stage. If these conditions are not met, the performance will not be able to come in. Coupled with censorship restrictions, many good dramas are temporarily out of reach of us.
