Another Look at Yellow Face
Truth and fiction blur in David Henry Hwang’s satiric memoir about DHH, a playwright plunged into a whirlpool of missteps and unintentional hypocrisy after a vocal protest against the casting of Jonathan Pryce as a Eurasian hustler in the Broadway production of Miss Saigon. What he condemns as “yellowface” soon comes back to haunt him when he later misidentifies a Caucasian actor for mixed-race and casts him in his own Broadway-bound comedy. His personal integrity is compromised as he proceeds to conceal his blunder aiding the narrative of this “born-again Asian”. Ultimately a forceful argument for representation, this provocative and comical sideways glance at race and assimilation asks “who has the ownership of a culture?”

    Is this the actual version of the song that exist with the licensed show? It's nice to hear here, but it's vastly different from the version heard on the Off Broadway Cast Album: ua-cam.com/video/Jly67cec60g/v-deo.html Also what's the song played at 1:07, if you can/don't mind sharing?

    I love Tyler and his acting. Could you please caption this video correctly for Tyler's Deaf and Hard of Hearing fans. Thank you. For me it would help even more so since when I went to see the show in person I was only able to get headphones that didn't even work and I had to sit up high in back. So I had no real access when I went in person. I would like to have at least a little access in the video. Character Name: lines That's not much to ask for. Thank you.
