The production features an international crew, including British theater director Thom Southerland and British set designer Morgan Large. It is also joined by experienced Chinese theater practitioners such as composer Hu Xiao'ou, playwright Wang Yong, as well as playwright and lyricist Yang Shuo.

"The musical is a story about love, faith, and heritage,'' says Yu Tingting, producer and Chinese director of the musical.

"We aim to narrate the inheritance of civilization and culture through the concept of a dialogue between the ancient and the modern, highlighting the spirit of craftsmanship featured by contemporary archaeologists."
