“Give my regards to ... Drama Avenue?”

Shanghai, once the nightlife capital of Asia, hopes to revive some of its former glamour with a downtown theater district, newspapers reported Tuesday.

Called Drama Avenue, city officials are touting it as Shanghai’s answer to London’s West End and New York’s theater district, the subject of George M. Cohan’s 1904 song “Give My Regards to Broadway.” The street will link at least nine theaters.
