About the Show

Theatre at St. Clement's presents this new musical about the trials and tribulations of immigration.

Han, a South Korean starving artist living in Harlem, is fighting for his chance at the American Dream. Trouble is, he's not an American citizen. After meeting Mia, a spunky aspiring singer with skeletons to hide, they come up with a mutually beneficial plan: a fake marriage that earns her money and him a green card. But will Han’s girlfriend, Mia’s criminal ex-boyfriend, and a suspicious immigration officer derail their scheme?

Disappointing, Confusing, Confused, High school, Relevant theme

See it if Good story & Music. Needs tons of work. Book:7.5/Music:8/Lyrics:4.5 Acting:6.5/Singing:5.5 Why 20 people onstage at all times?

Don't see it if Every idea thrown in. Needs crazy editing. Embarrassing Choreography Lyrics don't sound proper English: Baffling/Confusing/Unintelligible.

Cute, Relevant, Disappointing, Amateurish, Needs work

See it if The story & concept are good but execution is not great. The cast has nice energy. Intimate scenes play out better than the bigger ones

Don't see it if Choreography & direction need lots of work. The ensemble dancing&blocking is distracting & cringworthy. Act2 better than Act1 (way to long)

Slow, Relevant, Uneven

See it if You want to support an effort by a group (immigrants, particularly Korean) underrepresented in US theater.

Don't see it if You think there should be a wall between the US and Mexico

Ambitious, Cliched, Disappointing, Amateur

See it if you don't mind severely under-done musicals with a solid foundation but poor, amateurish execution. Cringe-worthy at times.

Don't see it if Need a polished or well-rounded production.

Disappointing, Confusing, Incomprehensible lyrics, Enthusiastic cast

See it if you like original shows that are still rough around the edges, full of cheery and enthusiastic young actors working hard with weak material.

Don't see it if you expect an entirely put-together show. Good concept but needs work - Indecipherable lyrics, distracting ensemble, uneven cast & weak book

Boring, Amature, Slow, Relevant, Earnest

See it if you want to support the hopes and dreams of this cast and crew. & if they hand out lyrics sheets. I have no idea what they were singing abou

Don't see it if you want to see a well put together production that is audience "ready." Though maybe act 2 was better. We didn't stay to find out.

Disappointing, Slow, Excruciating

See it if The cast is talented and tries hard. There are some good voices and it's in a great space.

Don't see it if But the writing, staging and character development is so poor. I couldn't sit through the second act and left.

Banal, Disappointing, Insipid, Indulgent, Cliched

See it if You are in the mood for a very amateurish production by a group of "not ready for prime time players". You know someone in the group !

Don't see it if You are looking for a satisfying evening watching and listening to a professional theatre company perform a well-written play.
