Two foreign shows, 'The Shashank Redemption, Adaptation' and 'Les Misrabla', were performed with an all-foreign cast of Western actors speaking in Mandarin in Beijing theaters. Despite potential sensitivity due to themes of unjust imprisonment and freedom in the performances, staged productions face lighter censorship in China compared to online content. This contrasts with the banning of a song from 'Les Misrabla' after it was adopted as a protest anthem in Hong Kong, showing that while some content is censored, live performances seem to navigate censorship more smoothly.
