[2025 Shanghai ] Travel Guide for YOUNG Theater (Updated Jul)

🎭 The globally acclaimed 'Number One Korean God Drama' 'Chaotic God Chef Show' has made a dazzling 'debut' at the YOUNG Theater. 💥 Set against the backdrop of a huge kitchen, four 'chefs' use all kinds of kitchen utensils—pots, bowls, ladles, spoons, knives, forks, and even brooms—anything you can think of as percussion 'instruments'. With their fun-filled drumming performances and physical movements, they bring a different experience. 💥 The 90-minute performance is full of climaxes, with vivid plots and distinctive characters. The energetic 'highlight scenes' such as wedding ceremonies, plate throwing, and flying vegetable leaves add to the watchability of the show. There are no lines throughout the performance; it's all about the actors' intense drumming rhythms and beats taking the audience into the story. ⚠️ The interactive segment is also very interesting. If you like to go on stage to show off, remember to choose seats in the first row or the front row aisles, so there's a good chance you'll be cued to perform on stage! 🎭YOUNG Theater 📍Detailed address: No. 1155 Kongjiang Road, Yangpu District 🚇Transportation: Exit 3 of Huangxing Road Station on Metro Line 8

This is Korea's representative cultural tourism product—'The Beating Chef Show'! 👏 🌟 This dialogue-free, purely musical performance doesn't require any language comprehension, so foreign friends can easily enjoy this unique show. Based on traditional Korean music and the 'four objects game', it blends modern performance techniques without being boring at all, but rather keeps you riveted! 🤩 🍲 The show is set in a kitchen and tells a series of amusing stories that unfold when an uninvited guest—the manager's nephew—suddenly joins the kitchen staff in preparing for a wedding banquet. The actors integrate the rhythmic sounds of pots, pans, ladles, and knives with traditional Korean music, satisfying both the auditory and visual senses of the audience and allowing you to appreciate the charm of Korean traditional culture! 👍 🎭 During the performance, you will see Chinese elements such as nunchucks and acrobatics, as the director of the Beating Show is very fond of Chinese culture, hence these elements were included. Additionally, six audience members will be invited on stage to interact, ensuring that the audience does more than just watch the show but also gets a direct, immersive experience that is sure to be thrilling! 😜

The Korean Nanta Musical is the first non-verbal performance in Korea, created with the melody of the Samul nori as its material. It ingeniously combines the rhythms of Korean Samul nori with Western drum sets, thus making this work a success. Set in a large kitchen, the performance is structured around the process of four chefs preparing food for a wedding banquet, using kitchen utensils (pots, spoons, dishes, etc.) to create the content. The sounds produced by these kitchen tools have the explosive power of the original sounds of Samul nori, rhythmic, with a clear melody, and are an art form loved by people of all ages. Since its beginning in October 1997, it has received an enthusiastic response from audiences and has now broken the record for the most box office in Korean performance history. YOUNG Theater was formerly known as Yangpu Grand Theater, located in one of the busiest sections of Kongjiang Road in Yangpu District, built in 1996. The theater has an elegant environment, integrating meetings, movies, performances, and exhibitions, and is one of the iconic performance venues in Yangpu District. With the development of the times, the old Yangpu Grand Theater gradually lost its popularity. In February 2018, the Yangpu District Culture and Tourism Bureau of Shanghai signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with the Shanghai Grand Theater, and it was determined that the renovated Yangpu Grand Theater would be renamed 'YOUNG Theater'. 🌟Highlights: Interactive and fun, full of laughter, suitable for all ages 👍Most recommended: Enhances the atmosphere, gets everyone excited! 🚉Travel tips: Just out of the Huangxing Road subway station on Line 8 ✅Must experience: A performance project from Korean tourism, now brought to China.

👉The London original musical "The Last Five Years" has finally arrived in Shanghai! The play premiered in 2001, with a mediocre reputation at the time, but the subsequent album sales were not bad, and it has been enthusiastically staged in small theaters in various countries over the years. This Shanghai performance specially invited Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown to rearrange the music, making the plot more colorful!🌈 🙌However, it should be reminded that this play has no dialogue! All the plots are interpreted through songs! The male and female protagonists do not communicate directly, and what they sing are their inner monologues, so the entire play's performance effect almost entirely depends on the actors' singing skills and infectious power to support.💪 🚨The story is very real (it is said that the playwright created it based on his personal experience, which is hard to evaluate). The male and female protagonists meet each other with dreams. After the male lead succeeds in his career, he focuses all his attention on himself, surrounded by a group of young girls. And the wife whose career is frustrated has become a person who resents and does not support his dreams in his eyes. The male lead cheats because of the female lead's "doubt" and "control". The female lead believes that her collapse is due to her husband's neglect, absence, and other women around him. For the increasing number of female audiences in the current Chinese musical market, if they want to get a good reputation, the actors' beliefs and personal charm are probably crucial.💔 🎭Dual-line narrative feature: the male lead's forward perspective, the female lead's reverse perspective. The male lead's perspective goes from their acquaintance, love, marriage to divorce; the female lead's perspective goes from the hidden endurance of divorce to the initial encounter of marriage. The only time the two meet is their wedding, and before and after this, their stories intersect at the ends of two parallel lines. The ending design is very moving, the male lead is forever farewell, and the female lead is looking forward to the next meeting, the plot is tense to the extreme!⏳ 🎶Recommended classic singing sections: - Still Hurting- Cathy - Moving Too Fast- Jamie - The Next Ten Minutes These songs are very good to listen to, you can find resources online to listen to them first!🎵 📅Performance location: YOUNG Theater-Main Theater 💰Ticket price: 180/280/380/580/680 yuan

| Singer Han Shannu’s 40-year artistic life. 💃 Hi, I’m 🐱Cat Demon Sister who loves watching performances and exhibitions! During the eight days of National Day, I watched five stage plays, two movies and a concert. I was tired but happy 👻The concentration of art exceeded the standard! The unexpected surprise was this concert called [Arirang Feelings]🎤, where soprano singer Han Shannyu's 40 years of artistic life were condensed into 90 minutes💕 The repertoire ranged from classic foreign opera excerpts to ancient Chinese poetry and folk songs with elegant style. Each song was of a standard that could be performed on CCTV Spring Festival Gala. I felt that the trip was worthwhile. This concert, from the lead singer to the guests to the accompaniment, is all at professor level. Their songs could only be heard through headphones 🎧 before, but today they suddenly stood in front of me and sang 😍. It is such an honor. Next time there is such a high-level concert🎶 I will come to listen again! — The End —
