Great Performances S52E10 - Yellow Face

Tony-winning playwright David Henry Hwang's comedy from Roundabout Theatre Company stars Daniel Dae Kim ("Lost," "Hawaii Five-0") as an Asian American playwright who protests yellowface casting in the blockbuster musical "Miss Saigon," only to mistakenly cast a white actor as the Asian lead in his own play. The repercussions resonate in this farce about the complexities of race. Directed by Leigh Silverman ("Violet," "Suffs"), "Yellow Face"is an "is-he-or-isn't-he" comedy of identity, show business and autobiography.
