To ensure a complete presentation of the original play, the masterminds of the play have had many discussions with die-hard Three Body Problem fans.

He Bin, who plays scientist Wang Miao, said after the performance on August 5 in Beijing that the play took one and a half year to produce with a lot of efforts made to perfect the details.

As reported, the first 12 plays in Shanghai have topped box office revenues of 10 million yuan ($150,000). The play will continue to stun fans in Guangzhou and Shenzhen in the following weeks.
