Beijing News Express (reporter Liu Zhen) Bu Xueliang revealed in an exclusive interview with the Beijing News that in order to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the formation of the troupe, Taiwan's Guotuo Theater specially restarted the rock musical "Kiss Me Nana" created by Zhang Yusheng, and the new version specially invited Bu Xueliang and Huang Jiaqian to lead the two soul characters in the play - Pan Dalong and Hao Lina. The play was directed by Liang Zhimin, and Zhang Yusheng served as the music production director to tailor all the songs for the musical, which made the play very popular, and it was also the only musical theater work before Zhang Yusheng served as the music production director. It is reported that the play will premiere in Taipei from September 14 to 16, Tainan from October 6 to 7, and Taoyuan from November 3 to 4.

The rock musical "Kiss Me Nana" is adapted from Guotuo Theatre's Shakespeare work "Taming the Taming" launched in 1997, which premiered in Taipei on August 1, 1997, but when it was staged in the second round in November, the bad news of Zhang Yusheng's death in a car accident was heard. In 1999, director Leung Chi-man reintegrated vision and music, and "Kiss Me Bar Nana" has been in the dust for 20 years after the third round of performances that year.

In the reboot version of The Goto Theater, director Leung Chi Man skillfully combines the diverse performance forms of song, dance and drama, and music director Koji Sakurai creates a new style for the personality of the characters, creating a contemporary style. In order to remember Zhang Yusheng, this version will also add a song of Zhang Yusheng's creative work "Can't Quit" that has not yet been publicly performed, and strive to make the new version of "Kiss Me Nana" in 2018 become a shining classic replica.
