Hwang has continued to work steadily in the world of opera and musical theatre, and has written for children's theatre as well.
Hwang co-wrote the English-language libretto for an operatic adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland with music (and part of the libretto) by the Korean composer Unsuk Chin.
It received its world premiere at the Bavarian State Opera in 2007 and was released on DVD in 2008.

Hwang wrote the libretto to Howard Shore's opera The Fly, based on David Cronenberg's 1986 film of the same name.
The opera premiered on July 2, 2008 at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, France, with Cronenberg as director and Plácido Domingo conducting.

Hwang wrote the libretto for Tarzan, a musical based on a film by Walt Disney Pictures, which was produced on Broadway.

Hwang also collaborated on the multi-media event Icarus at the Edge of Time, adapted from Brian Greene's novel of the same name.
It featured music by Philip Glass and a film by "Al and Al."
The piece premiered as part of the World Science Festival.

After its major success at Chicago's Goodman Theatre, Hwang's play, Chinglish, quickly made its way to Broadway in October 2011.
It won the Joseph Jefferson Award.
Chinglish was largely inspired by Hwang's frequent visits to China and his observations of interactions between Chinese and American people.
Ticket sales of Chinglish were conservative.

Hwang's short play A Very DNA Reunion was written for the evening of plays The DNA Trail, which was conceived by Jamil Khoury and premiered at the historic Chicago Temple Building.
