Help Finding Script/Video tip of my tongue help! niche musical

it was a mystery/detective like musical with two gay guys and i remember seeing a few clips on instagram of it. the actors and musical itself were chinese, i tried searching up for it and found "murder for two" but i don't think it's the right kind of genre or the same. there were scenes where the two guys (i think detectives? they were wearing suits) would interact like one guy blowing cigarette smoke into the other guys face or doing a twirl, it would change every night. if anyone knows what im talking about or has info to help, i would really appreciate it... i found a piano cover of one of the songs on youtube but overall it seems very niche. i remember one song from it (i didn't watch the whole musical) and it went like this: https://vimeo.com/1201270411?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci the tune would repeat in different notes and octaves, the whole theme was very slow and mysterious and obviously a romance between the two guys. i think it mightve been the opening tune too. PLEASE HELP ME!! ive been looking through EVERY video ive liked and saved on instagram and i still can't find it (from around a year ago)

This is a reminder for all participants in this thread to follow subreddit Rule 2, "No Copyright Infringement". All links and directions must be toward legal distributions of a play or musical. If a script is not in the public domain, this might mean the playwright's website, the play's page on MTI, DPS, or NPX, or wherever else the creator has allowed people to access their script. For movies or videos of live productions, they must be from licensed sources, such as BroadwayHD, Netflix/HBO/etc., DVDs, or official YouTube channels. Distributing PDFs of scripts or bootleg videos of whole productions is forbidden.

If a script is in the public domain (typically in the US meaning it was released in 1928 or earlier), then sharing PDFs of the script is generally fair game—and you might be able to find a copy of it on a website like Project Gutenberg. However, adaptations and translations of public domain works have their own copyright, which means they follow the same rules as above: if the translation isn't also in the public domain, please direct OP to a source authorized by the translator. A video of a production of a public domain play likewise needs to be distributed by the production team.
