Last night was the one-time-only production of East Side Story, the 2008 CASA cultural show:
As you may have expected, it was a rather satirical version, with the "Azn Boys" (ABCs) vs. the "Sha-Yu" (FOBs) on the streets of San Francisco. Tony works in Mr. Yu's boba shop, and Mai-Lee works in a beauty salon, but the overall story is still the same...
Can you guess which "gang" is which?
Tony meets Mei-Lee...What made the show so hilarious was the sheer cultural satire, including the song "Too White, Too White," sung by Tony and Mei-Lee. Appreciate the lyrics for what they are, and the singers for their effort =P
I also got a kick out of the not-so-traditional Lion Dance, as you will see below:
Overall, it was an extremely well-done production, even with the relatively tiny stage in SSS 114, limited lighting/sound, and only about a month of rehearsal. Super-props to director K. Chiu and the whole cast and crew =)
Next up: Phoenix tech week!
