Phở Runs Deep: Colonialism is Terrible, But Phở is Delicious @ Chance Theater – Review

Photo by Doug Catiller, True Image Studio.

This biting comedy spans centuries, continents, and cultures in a compelling three-part vignette structure. Beginning in 1880s French Indochina, a headstrong Vietnamese cook finds herself in the kitchen of aristocratic French settlers. Then in 1999 Vietnam, American tourists get their first taste of the local cuisine. Finally, in present-day, gentrifying Brooklyn, the simmering clash around culture, ownership, and authenticity comes to a roaring boil. Taken from the websites.

weirdo or (make nice) @ The Larking House – Review

Photo credit: Matthew M Hayashi

No one on the playground likes Zealand. He’s always crying. He stinks. He’s just… weird. Everyone on the playground likes Abby. She’s going to be class president! She has so many friends! She’s just… perfect. But, when Abby is caught doing something she shouldn’t be doing, she must spend recess with the pariah of the playground and his wild imagination. When a game of House turns caustic, Abby must confront her assumptions about Zealand and the hurt she has caused all these years while Zealand must do everything he can to get what he truly wants and needs: a friend. Taken from the website.

March 16 – 19,2023.

California Premiere of Ride the Cyclone @ Chance Theater in Anaheim – Review

Photo by Doug Catiller, True Image Studio

Strap yourself in for a bracingly funny, supremely inventive musical journey with more twists and turns than the rickety rollercoaster that sends six teenagers prematurely into the afterlife. Now trapped in a fantastical carnival-like purgatory, a mechanical fortune teller invites the teens to tell their stories of life interrupted with the promise of a prize like no other – the chance to return to life. Already being lauded as a contemporary musical masterpiece, this quirky, smart, and darkly hilarious show reveals the resilience of the human spirit with a riveting score that skillfully mixes cabaret, hip-hop, and Broadway. Taken from the website.

Note: Mistake on this podcast – The scenic designers were Matthew M. Hayashi and Spike Pulice.

The Larking House presents Sustained Release, a World Premiere play that follows Hailey, Alex and Robert, three friends in Hershey, Pennsylvania, desperately trying to navigate the recent death of Robert’s Father. When emotions run over making a once easy dynamic messy and contentious, the three must fight to understand and be understood by one another before it is too late to reconcile their fractured friendships.
