Bruce Lee Broadway show planned

Stage musicals about the late martial arts star Bruce Lee and former South African President Nelson Mandela are to be made for Broadway.

Bruce Lee: Journey to the West, set for 2010 or 2011, will tell the story of the action hero's rise to fame.

Meanwhile, a separate musical about South Africa's struggle for freedom from apartheid is planned for May 2010.

It will be based in part on a forthcoming memoir by Mandela's daughter Zindzi.

It will mix historical events with tales from Zindzi's memoir about growing up in the apartheid era with her father in jail.

The struggle against apartheid was also the subject of 1988 Broadway musical Sarafina!, about the 1976 Soweto riots. That was made into a film starring Whoopi Goldberg in 1992.

The Bruce Lee musical will include martial arts, Chinese opera, modern dance and pop music as his character struggles to master his skills and forge a link to unite East and West.

A lead actor has yet to be chosen. Lee died in Hong Kong in 1973 at the age of 32, having suffered from a fatal swelling of the brain.

He was loved by fans for martial arts movies like Enter the Dragon and Fists of Fury.

Hey, I really like this forum.
It's cool to see what other people think and believe about some of the most famous martial artists. I was reading gunz's and lohan?'s comments, and then looked at the long list, and stopped reading right around where lohan said that he respected gunz. idk, if this forum is outdated, and that my comment will mean nothing... but here are my two cents anyway... Bruce Lee is great. Jet Li is great. Jackie Chan... is just crazy. Ha :) I think that...

Why Jackie chan would not last 1 round with bruce lee.
Bruce Lees style that he created himself jeet kwan do. (the art on no style). Ranked supreme during his time it broke down the all of the of the flaws of gung fu, kung fu, shaolin, boxing mu thai, judo etc. Jeet kwan do was all of the style combined into one style. If Jackie chan came at bruce with just his simple shaolin munk fighting style it would only be seconds before Bruce Lee would pick him apart. I...

Bruce lee is the greatest "why?"
Bruce lee is the greatest because he was the best at every popular fighting style at his time. If he lived in our era he would have studied brazilian jui jitzu and all of the other styles that have emerged in the ufc, k-1 etc. The best fighter is the who can adapt to all styles and that was what bruce lee was all about he trained and worked harder than any fighter ever. If there was a modern day...

The Bruce Lee Diet
Obviously people associate Bruce Lee as being a master of martial arts who appeared in many films and had quite an amazing life. But one thing people may not be aware of is that Bruce Lee had a very strict diet which he stuck to, to keep him performing at the peak of his fitness. The Bruce Lee Diet consists of various factors which we will examine below. Obviously before even thinking about copying the Bruce Lee Diet, you should consult...

I just love these guys who write on forums and tell us how Sensie Segal can't fight. During my life I had the pleasure of training with the late Sensie Shigeru Kimura and Sifu Mark Stewart. They had one thing in common and that was the respect of other MA. Age and and obvious wieght problem may not have been kind to Sensie Segal but make no mistake he is one of the toughest MA who ever graced a dojo. I'm new...
