Yellow Face (Roundabout’s Todd Haimes Theater)
Daniel Dae Kim stars in David Henry Hwang’s 2007 comedy, which finally makes it to Broadway, a semi-fictionalized dramatization of three events in the playwright’s life: his protest against the performance of a non-Asian actor as an Asian character (a practice referred to as yellowface) in Miss Saigon; the failure of his 1993 play, “Face Value”; and a Senate investigation that targeted Asian Americans including his father.
