"Love City: Youth Season" also provides a stage for "familiar faces" to showcase their charm.

While gathering the power of youth, "Love City Youth Season" also underwent a competition system reform. The program is based on the real ecosystem of the musical industry, and through multiple stages such as actor recruitment, theater troupe formation, and theater troupe competition, it makes the stage a window to showcase the musical industry and provides opportunities for the new generation of musical actors to showcase themselves. Unlike the previous season, which mainly featured individual competitions, this season's actors will form a "community of shared destiny" under the leadership of six theater managers, competing for the honor of being the "strongest card player of the year" on a company by company basis.

This season's program also focuses on expanding the scope of musicals. As more and more audiences enter theaters, the musical theater market in Shanghai is constantly accelerating. The program not only introduces famous IP plays from both domestic and international sources, but also focuses on incubating original plays, allowing audiences to see the charm of Chinese original musicals. The program also attracts more and more talents and audiences to the musical theater market through diversified musical stages, making the musical theater culture a unique urban business card of Shanghai.
