Excellent acting, funny and thought-prvoking

See it if you saw Breakfast at Tiffany's and were dismayed by the racist portrayal of someone Japanese by Mickey Rooney.

Don't see it if you cannot get to the theater between 5/25/22 and 5/29/22....otherwise run, run, run to see it. It is well worth seeing. Read more

Engaging, Thought-provoking, Educational, Hilarious, Ambitious

See it if great comic timing to make significant political & social commentary excites you. Cho has done his research to make his points with clarity

Don't see it if you have difficulty accepting that jocularity & social awareness can coexist peacefully in a one hour performance.

Don't see it if you don't care much about Hollywood's history of anti-Asian racism and stereotypes

See it if Told with compassion & humor the one-man show deals with Mickey Rooney's role in Breakfast at Tiffany's and Asian stereotypes in Hollywood.

Don't see it if Unfortunately, the show's run is ending tonight. Keep an eye out for future runs. Worth seeing.

Delightful, Quirky, Funny, Entertaining, Clever

See it if you've heard about Breakfast at Tiffany's and how the insensitive portrayal of this character has impacted American Movie History.

Don't see it if references to race and racial inequality are too much for you
