There s no business like show business, and these days, that s even true in China, but Broadway musicals are leaving some Chinese audiences puzzled. Avenue Q is an American musical about New Yorkers, but at performances in Beijing the songs and dialogue are in Chinese. It s a big challenge -- mainly because I m so old and stupid that I can t learn the beautiful language, director Joseph Graves told CBS News Seth Doane. At this time Chinese people they are getting more and more money - but they will needvery good cultural content, said Yang Jiamen, the CEO of Seven Ages, theproduction company that for bringing Avenue Q to China. CBS Graves said language is not the only hurdle. There is a relatively sophisticated audience in Beijing and Shanghai. But as we get out to the other cities a lot of the folks don t know what musical theater is -- often don t know samba shoes what a play is. He also n af1 oted that it s difficult to translate American musicals into Chinese because they still have to rhyme, and the cultural issues China faces are different than ones faced in America. For instance, one of the musical numbers in Avenue Q was Everybody Is A Little Bit Racist, and racism in the sense that we would have exp crocs erienced in America doesn t really exist here. So we have changed it into Everybody Is A Little Bit Provincial -- like people from Dongbei talk too loud, people from G Gkas Officials: U.S. Strike Kills 5 in Pakistan
CBS KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - To be embedded with a military unit means that you live, eat, sleep and work next to our troops around the world. I m currently living on-base at the Kandahar Air Field in Afghanistan. We have it pretty good tonight - I m with CBS News producer John Bentley in a room with air conditioning and bunk beds. CBS News correspondent Seth Doane r stanley cup usa eports from on board a Black Hawk helicopter in Afghanistan stanley cup CBS We ve been embedded for more than a week now in Kandahar but just met up with the soldiers from the U.S. Army s Task Force Thunder today. We spent the day hoping in and out of their Black Hawk helicopters as we got to see some of their work as the main medivac unit for this area. Because of Geneva Convention rules, a medical asset cannot be armed. So, the unarmed medivac helicopter flies in to evacuate the patient and a chase helicopter flies behind to support the medivac with light weapons. These soldiers can be called on for anything that happens on the battlefield and they ll evacuate anyone from wounded troops on the battlefield, to civilians who might have had a terrible accident to an enemy combatant. That s right, if an insurgent needed medical attention, this team would swoop down from the sky to help. Flight medic Stephon Flynn told me earlier today that after all, a life is a life.
