Li Bai: The Musical is a captivating bilingual family production that seamlessly integrates traditional Chinese culture with modern storytelling.
The story follows mischievous young Liu Songsong, who accidentally travels back to the Tang Dynasty and saves a young Li Bai, forming a deep friendship. Encouraged by Liu Songsong’s “prophecy,” Li Bai embarks on his grand journey, ultimately growing into the legendary poet immortalised in Chinese literature. Meanwhile, back in the modern world, Liu Songsong faces a challenging debate contest on the topic of Li Bai. Researching Li Bai’s life in the library, he finds himself transported once again to the Tang Dynasty—this time uncovering the key to winning his debate.
The musical combines classic songs and dances with traditional Chinese arts, including martial arts, Peking opera, calligraphy, and classical Chinese dance, offering audiences a fully immersive cultural experience. Li Bai: The Musical premiered at Qintai Theatre in Wuhan to widespread acclaim.
In 2025, X Star Production led the Li Bai team to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, guiding the performers through a 14-day UK Theatre Study Tour, providing an immersive journey into British theatre and international performing arts.
