In the behind-the-scenes photo of Tao Quan script reading shared by Meritorious Artist Chi Trung on his personal page, there are appearances by People's Artist Quoc Khanh and Meritorious Artist Bui Nhu Lai.
If People's Artist Quoc Khanh is familiar with the role of Jade Emperor, the role of Meritorious Artist Bui Nhu Lai makes the audience curious and expectant.
Speaking to Lao Dong reporters, a representative of the Tao Quan 2025 production team said that artist Bui Nhu Lai will participate. However, the team kept the artists and roles a secret until the end to create surprise and excitement for the audience.
"We cannot reveal the artists or their roles yet. We hope the audience will look forward to the return of Tao Quan," the crew representative shared.
Doctor - Meritorious Artist Bui Nhu Lai used to work at the Department of Theater, Hanoi University of Theater and Cinema. He currently holds the position of Vice Principal of the school. Previously, Meritorious Artist Bui Nhu Lai belonged to the Youth Theater.
In 2023, Meritorious Artist Bui Nhu Lai suddenly appeared in the TV series "Under the Tree of Happiness" after many years of absence from the screen. He played the role of To - a thorny character with a strong personality, holding many hatreds in his heart, but at the same time brought a lot of laughter when paired with Thai Son (as Tu).
Therefore, the audience is looking forward to the role of Meritorious Artist Bui Nhu Lai in Tao Quan this year.
Previously, VTV Shows revealed a series of photos from the first rehearsal of the show Meeting at the end of the year - Tao Quan 2025.
Familiar artists of the program such as Meritorious Artist Chi Trung, Meritorious Artist Quang Thang, artist Van Dung, People's Artist Quoc Khanh, Duy Nam... were also present at the rehearsal. People's Artist Tu Long posted a backstage photo of the artists reading the script together.
At Tao Quan 2024, most of the old cast no longer appeared, only People's Artist Quoc Khanh played the Jade Emperor.
Not following the familiar pattern of the past 20 years, Tao Quan 2024 builds on the journey of the Jade Emperor and Nam Tao to the lower world. The court session also does not require the Taos to report.
