Narrator 1 (Isabella Turri), Policeman Hix (Allen Yu) and the whole cast of Around the World in 80 Days are dancing to the Cowboy Theme. Choreographer Tiziano Kirchner and dance assistant Monica Lei taught the students the dances. They also helped the students create their own choreography. Kirchner appeared on stage as Scarecrow in Beijing Playhouse’s Wizard of Oz and as peddler man Ali Hakim in Oklahoma!

Two energetic Cowboys (Melia Guo and Chenchen Hon) show Phileas Fogg and his friends how to dance in the Wild West! The students are ages 6-14. The program, based in China’s capital, is taught entirely in English. Students are admitted regardless of ability or previous experience. The mission is for all students to learn.

The Indian Princesses Seeta (Ruby Heffernan) and Meena (Caroline Zeng) are about to being sacrificed to goddess Kali. Their Maids (Tina Han, Cecilia Chen, Audrey Hua, Yinuo Liu and Isabella Turri) beg Phileas Fogg and his servants to come and save them.

Policeman Fix (Sankara Gwisai) followed Phileas Fogg all along and landed in America as well. Acting teaching assistants Fangran Li, Tony Li, and Andrew Nume coached the student actors one on one; helping them develop their characters and improve their stage presence.

In London, Gentleman 1 (Leo Liu) is waiting for Phileaus Fogg to come back from his trip. Will he get to the London Club on time?
