Jacky Cheung was the artistic director of the tour. Andrew Tuason was the music director and Chen Xiaobin the choreographer, both of whom had worked with Cheung on previous projects. The Guangzhou Philharmonic Orchestra performed the string accompaniment for his concert tour. Florence Chan and Star Entertainment Limited produced the tour as the tour directors.

The staging included an oversize LED screen, theatrical production and changing sets along with laser lights and pyrotechnics for Cheung's repertoire of pop classics, songs from his musicals, rock, ballad, and jazz songs.[8][9][10] Li Kwok Hoi served as the lighting director and one of technical directors, was awarded Best Collaboration Award from Cheung's team and all the concert organizers.

Cheung performed for three hours, singing and dancing, without any guest artists. He wore changing costumes, including a white tuxedo and top hat and shoes embroidered with Swarovski crystals.

He sang Mandarin songs including Ru Guo Ai (Perhaps, Love)  and Wen Bie (Goodbye Kiss) and Cantonese songs including Love Is Like A Dream, Snow.Wolf.Lake, Love You A Little More Each Day, Double Trouble, Let It Go, Fei Je and others from his Private Corner album.[10]
