From August 10th to 13th, the musical "My Last Wish List" produced by Shanghai Culture Square Theater Management Co., Ltd. returned to the stage of the theater. Since its premiere in 2017, "My Wish List" has been performed in 49 theaters in 31 cities across the country. On August 13th, the drama will enter its 188th performance.

For the past seven years, actors such as Ayunga, Zhang Bojun, Ding Hui, Yu Xiaolin, Fang Shujian, Zhang Zhihan, Zhou Jichen, Zhou Keren, Shao Ding, Zhong Jiacheng, and Cai Qi have all appeared in "My Last Wish List". Its original soundtrack has been played over a million times, becoming a trap for many audience musicals.

"My Last Wish List" tells the story of Yang Xiaoyu, a rebellious young man who had just been released from the juvenile detention center and had the idea of committing suicide. However, at this moment, he received a phone call announcing his "death sentence" - the hospital found out that he had cancer. Upon learning that he was ill, he ran to the hospital without saying a word and met his classmate Liu Bao, who was on the brink of death due to a serious illness. Liu Bao was planning a list of last wishes that he must complete before his death.

The original musical "My Wish List" received a high rating of 9.3 on the authoritative Korean entertainment information website Interpark. In 2017, Shanghai Cultural Square Theater Management Co., Ltd. produced a Chinese version of "My Last Wish List", which incorporated Chinese elements and was loved by Chinese audiences. It awakens memories of friendship, love, and freedom - the madness and immaturity we once experienced together when we were young, will find an outlet in the drama.
