The Queen & the Dragon premiered at Secret Rose Theatre on June 25, 2009 in North Hollywood, California as part of their Mini-Musical Festival. Read along with the libretto. "«««« It is without reservation that I recommend this production. However, if you are expecting cheerful and uplifting musicals, you won't get a lot of that here. If you do like professional, smart and thought provoking musicals this show is definitely for you! The line-up even includes mini opera! My favorites were “The Queen and the Dragon” (the opera), and “Something Not Real” which reminded me of the musical “Company” in it’s poignancy. Don’t miss this show! I might even go again!" S. Katz, GoldStar
