Chee-Chee

About the show

In 1928 Herbert Fields wrote a libretto based on Pettit's book in which the Grand Eunuch's son, Li-Pi, and his wife, Chee-Chee, are forced into exile when the Grand Eunuch announces his plan for Li-Pi to become a eunuch and take his father's place as the Grand Eunuch. Chee-Chee is captured and rescued, and Li-Pi is captured and rescued, and finally the musical ends happily.
