The Roundabout production is the long awaited Broadway premiere of Hwang's semi-autobiographical play.
Roundabout Theatre Company's upcoming Broadway production of Yellow Face by David Henry Hwanghas found its complete cast!
Directed by Leigh Silverman, Yellow Face will star the previously announced Daniel Dae Kim as DHH. Newly announced to be joining him are Kevin Del Aguila as Actor A, Ryan Eggold as Marcus, Francis Jueas HYH and Others, Marinda Anderson as Actor B, Greg Keller as Reporter/NWOAC, and Shannon Tyo as Leah and Others.
Inspired by real events, the playwright's fictionalized doppelgänger DHH (Kim) leads protests against yellowface casting in Miss Saigon, but then mistakenly casts a white actor as the Asian lead in one of his own plays.
Yellow Face will begin previews September 13, with opening night set for October 1 at the Todd Haimes Theatre. The production is a limited engagement through November 24.
