1. Musical - 《许愿树上的天空》

Synopsis: Canying, the sole child of a rich family business, embarks on a ponderous journey to discover (and re-discover) friendship and love, fate and causality in a world saturated with a cosmic background of personal and corporate politics. When her family's company is sabotaged by an unveiled mastermind, how will her choices on friendship and romance cause the shifts in fates of her childhood friends Zuoyuan and Lingyan? What will she make out of it all?

The musical will be held on 12th February 2012, 7.00pm at Robinson College in the Auditorium Theatre. Tickets are sold at a price of £5 for CUMSA members, £6 for CUMaS members and £7 for non-members.
