The Silken-web Fairy forces the monk to marry her.
This is a light comedy about the evil Fairy of the Silken Web Cave capturing the Monk Xuanzong and the Monkey King, Sun Wu Kong, rescuing him.
There was a short romance scene between the Monk and the Empress of the Land of Women. The empress hinted that they could live a happy life together. But of course the Monk's only wish was to accomplish his mission - to get the Buddhist Scriptures and help mankind.
There was also a frivolous scene which delighted the audience. In it the Pig Zhu Ba Jie was dressed in female clothing and later he took out a big handphone from his dress.
The more strenuous fighting parts were done by the Monkey, the Evil Fairy and a few supporting male actors. To make it more realistic, in one scene the Monkey jumped up to the ceiling of the stage and flew around in circles. This was made possible by a cable attached to his body.
There was no stoppage for changes of scenes. The show just went on with stage crew pulling away a backdrop or pulling in one. There was also little change of costumes. For most performers, it was not necessary. Towards the end of the show I am not sure why the Pig dressed himself up as a cockerel.
This is one of the top stars in the troupe. She sang during the interval and went down to shake hands with the audience.

Hahahaha~~~ The pig dressed up as a cockerel because he was supposed to look for the Golden Cockerel Diety for help. But he overslept and foiled the mission so he thought that he might as well impersonate one to scare off the Evil Spider Fairy.
I don't really fancy that actor who acted the Pig...I saw another version (which I prefer) done by the same troupe years ago..The pig was acted by the actress who did the Monk in SG. And the Monk was acted by the top star that came down to shake hands.
