Chinese Rock super star Cui Jian will perform in a musical, Atlantic Story, this March in Shanghai, along with the "Godfather" of German rock, Udo Lindenberg.

Cui chose this musical drama because he likes its style and reflective mood. Cui will perform four songs, one of them as a duo with Udo Lindenberg.

Atlantic Story retells the well-known story about Germany in the 1930s, when many famous German artists, such as Thomas Mann, Bertold Brecht, Billy Wilder, Kurt Weill and others fled to New York and Shanghai, seeking refuge from Nazi persecution.

The drama will play in Shanghai in late February and in Beijing in early March.
