A total of 29 such young spokespeople were standing on the theatre's stage on New Year's Eve, performing with the lead characters of their favorite shows.
Luan Xi, who portrays the title character Sara in the theatre's new musical A Little Princess, performed a theme song of the musical along with its new spokesperson Yang Mianmian.
The theatre says nearly three million children and their parents have applied to participate in the campaign, in hopes of an opportunity to represent their favorite shows.
Yin Xiaodong, head of the theatre, said the new program reflects the importance of theatre in helping encourage the growth of self-esteem and sound values in children.
