From "Notre Dame Cathedral" to "Romeo and Juliet", and then to "Rock Mozart" and "Rock Red and Black", Cultural Square has been committed to introducing French musicals to Chinese audiences in recent years, bringing unique sounds that are different from Broadway and the West End of London. French musicals have also moved Chinese audiences with their unique freehand style. As of now, there have been a total of 242 French musicals and performances by French musicals actors at the Cultural Square, and this number is still increasing.

In 2017, the Shanghai Cultural Square Theater team led the original production team of the French musical "Notre Dame de Paris" with French producer Nicolas Talal to jointly create a collection of French musical stars concert. In the autumn of that year, five French musical stars performed together on stage, accompanied by French electroacoustic and Chinese orchestra, bringing a wonderful performance. After a six-year hiatus, in preparation for the 12th anniversary celebration of Shanghai Cultural Square, the French musical star concert has been upgraded and returned.

One of the characteristics of French musicals is that "before the play is performed, the song takes the lead". Many songs from French musicals have become well-known pop songs in French households. Many classic songs were included in this concert, such as "The Sorrow of the Sorrow", which is known as the "hardest to sing French song", from the musical "Star Fantasy", and the single "Wen Me" from "Rock Mozart" ranked first on the 2009 French pop music chart.
Popular songs such as "The Age of the Cathedral," "The King of the World," and "I Have Dreams," which made their debut in the French musical star concert in China, were also included in the concert. In addition, songs such as "Under the Stars," "Verona," and "Dance Bar, Esmeralda.".
