A musical adapted from the Japanese manga series Midnight Diner was staged in Xiamen, East China's Fujian province on April 26 and 27.

The musical follows the life of a chef who opens a small restaurant that runs from midnight to sunrise. The restaurant has only one dish on the menu, but the chef cooks anything his clients ask for using the ingredients he has on hand.

The musical, depicting many heartwarming events in the small restaurant, stars Zhai Lishuotian, a famous musical actor in China.

The stage design of the musical stays true to the source material by imitating typical small restaurants and streets in Shinjuku, Japan.

The manga series has already been made into a television series in China, Japan and South Korea.
