Broadway: Yellow Face – AAPI Community Night
Oct/29/2024 at 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
$20 – $140Tony Award® winner and three-time Pulitzer finalist David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly) will make his Roundabout debut with the Broadway premiere of Yellow Face, his hilarious is-he-or-isn’t-he comedy of identity, show business, and (perhaps) autobiography. Starring Daniel Dae Kim (Lost) and directed by Tony nominee Leigh Silverman (Violet).
Inspired by real events, the playwright’s fictionalized doppelgänger protests yellowface casting in Miss Saigon, only to mistakenly cast a white actor as the Asian lead in his own play. This Obie Award-winning and Pulitzer finalist play is a laugh-out-loud farce about the complexities of race.
We will host a post-show discussion for the evening performance alongside:
- Daniel Dae Kim,
- David Henry Hwang,
- Leigh Silverman, director
- and other members of the Company.
Tickets start at $20 per ticket for 2 tickets per order, Sales are nonrefundable and not eligible for any credits.
