About the Show

After decades of absorbing American pop culture, two Malaysian writers set out to write the perfect American film. Can these two Malaysians convince America that they are more American than apple pie? It’s go time!

In countries all over the world, very different people share the same dream: The American Dream. They don’t just want to live like Americans: they want to BE AMERICAN. Low on sleep, high on caffeine and short on time, these two dreamers must find common ground quickly if they are to achieve their pursuit of identity, fame, and fortune.

Please note: the production contains adult content, including: prop firearms, gunshot sounds, violence, and explicit language. The performance will extend beyond the stage, and some guests will be asked to move during the show.

Surprising, Entertaining, Intelligent, Delightful, Funny

See it if One screenwriter strives to write an American hero without clichés; the other edits what he can to make the script sellable.

Don't see it if your taste is for more caustic satire. This is actually a thoughtful, ambitious premise but it goes down easy. Read more

Confusing, Disappointing, Excruciating, Indulgent, Insipid

See it if you enjoy the sensation of nails on a chalkboard.

Don't see it if you were expecting to see a well written, exciting, and funny tale about a the entertainment business with a new twist because this isn't it

Quirky, Thought-provoking, Relevant, Funny, Entertaining

Entertaining, Great staging, Thought-provoking, Relevant

See it if You are interested in exploring race& immigration issues but are tired of victim stories & enjoy layers

Don't see it if If you are hearing difficulties or would not enjoy a nightclub setting. That attracted me but not for everyone.

Thought-provoking, Quirky, Great staging, Entertaining, Ambitious

See it if You care about “American’s identity/image through foreign eyes”; a satire smartly staged in a restaurant/bar; partly moving, mostly funny

Don't see it if $12 minimum bothers you; a montage of many cliched stereotypical dialogues/plots (but somewhat works at the end); high cold stool hurts ass

Romantic, Slow, Relevant, Refreshing, Entertaining

See it if You like to laugh, have a good time. There is drama, music, dancing, funny remarks about American culture from point of two Malaysian artist

Don't see it if You want serious play, heavy accent , minimum food/drink order bothers you (although it is a great venue)

Great acting, Great staging, Entertaining, Clever, Ambitious

See it if you like a fun immersive dinner theater experience. Unique story telling with musical numbers by a diverse talented cast. Great for a date !

Don't see it if you prefer conventional theater/serious play, or have pay for food/drinks... as there is min. required purchase but the selections are good.

Quirky, Indulgent, Disappointing

See it if You are forgiving and would just enjoy a nice night out at this venue. If you would like some humor and to see some fun performances.

Don't see it if You are expecting something insightful about race, Americans, Hollywood, and everything else they make it out to be in the advertising. Read more
