Someone wrote a non-spoiler review of the musical on weibo. They seemed to enjoy it a lot despite not seeing the anime. (I've used DeepL Translator for their post)
The plot uhh I'm taking a guess they cover the episodic stories from s1 (noodle lesbians and earthquake arc for sure).
The set appears to have some sort of carousel mechanism. They also use a projector for additional animation/lighting effects. Transl quote: the carousel itself has the intention of the clock, the scenery also has the elements of the clock hand. (which sounds pretty neat ngl)
The person described main trio characters and praised the chemistry between them. It sounded very in character for CXS, LG and QL we know from anime. So it's safe to assume musical did a great job at characterisation. There seems to be a theme of conflict between CXS's and LG's way of doing things. Transl quote: Under the unchangeable important trajectory, friendship, love, family, destiny, regrets, and in the midst of a destiny that can't be changed, Cheng Xiaoshi will never give up his fight. CXC's never-ending struggle, Lu Guang's silence, the weight of knowing where he's going, and the loss of one life after another, and the immense grief that follows, are the tests of their bond..... So like, yeah they got it all right it seems 👌
Ok and for the wildest part that confused me the most and is probably a mistranslation >> I quote: There's a funny part in this scene when Cheng thought he had changed his destiny and made Lu Guang disappear, and when he sang a big solo and confessed his remorse, I thought he was about to lose it. The chemistry of this group is unique.
😶And I-......... Whatever they mean by 'funny', I won't rest until we get to see it. Subbed. PLEASsdfghjkl;'
A review after review after review keeps telling me the Finnish translations of my least favourite musical translator of all times are beautiful and great and brilliant.
