Play: yellow fever express

A wild ride. His language is brutally honest and hilarious and when he's at the pulpit he peaches right from the heart. The guy tells us before the play starts to fasten our seat belts. I wish there really were seat belts. One minute we're in Arizona, then Ralph Reed is getting raped by Beelzebub, then to Utah, then a sex crazed reverend starts complaining about his sex life. Think what would happen if Spaling Grey, Jerry Falwell, and Jackie Chan had a baby-you've got the yellow fever express. I loved the music. Although a couple of the transitions from monologue to preacher were a little rough. Overall, I loved it.

I really wanted to like this more than I did. Creatively put together with slide show and two guys providing great musical interludes with appropriate tunes , but it feels like he's trying to do too much at the same time and some of the more worthy parts get lost. Editing might help as some of the recuring sermons are repetitive without purpose and his dead pan delivery can become monotonous. An infusion of enery or life in the presentation might help. Having said that , he does broach pertinant concerns for asian males in
America and I'd be curious to know what the reactions of Asians seeing this show was. It's still worth seeing.

Well worth seeing. The genuine insights into the human condition, especially in the realm of modern orientalism, that hit seldomly subtle and brutally honest, are of the most important nature to the modern man. Disconnects of the public realm and the asian american male addressed in this piece are of an essetial beauty. Though these ideas are too much to be adequately examined in merely an hour, they are done so in an entertaining and always thought provoking manner.
