Synopsis

“I will come to see you again.” In 2014, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai made a heartfelt promise in Art School Musical. A decade later, Edward Lam Dance Theatre presented a work-in-progress sequel, Art School Musical 2.0: The Visit. This performance features the original seven cast members—Wang Hung-yuan, Lu Chia-hsin, Margaret Cheung, Huang Ren-jie, Chao Yi-lan, Rebecca Yip, and Jordan Cheng—alongside three new actors, Oscar Chuk, Chan Ying-ying, and Gabriel Lo. The show thoughtfully combines elements of a 'concert' and a 'reunion,' shifting focus from the dramatic aspects of the original musical to enhance its musicality. It offers fresh interpretations of ten songs from Art School Musical. Set in a youthful art museum that exists in memory rather than on stage, Liang and Zhu return years later to honor their promise, exploring themes of love, life, and the future.

Shot in JUNE 2024, Art School Musical 2.0: The Visit (Work-in-progress) (On Screen) is presented as a visual representation of the stage production, filmed from various angles and edited for the cinema, aiming to recreate this romantic and poignant musical experience on the big screen.

Director: Edward Lam (Theatre), Kenneth Yuen (On-screen), Darwin Ng (On-stage Images), Ho Ting-wai (Live Cinematographer)
