ROUNDABOUT THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS

YELLOW FACE

By David Henry Hwang

Directed by Leigh Silverman

​

Coming to Broadway September 2024 at the Todd Haimes Theatre on Broadway (227 W 42nd St)

​

Tony Award ® winner and three-time Pulitzer finalist David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly) will make his Roundabout debut with the Broadway premiere of YELLOW FACE, his hilarious is-he-or-isn’t-he comedy of identity, show business, and (perhaps) autobiography. Starring Daniel Dae Kim (Lost) and directed by Tony nominee Leigh Silverman (Violet). 

​

Inspired by real events, the playwright’s fictionalized doppelgänger protests yellowface casting in Miss Saigon, only to mistakenly cast a white actor as the Asian lead in his own play. This Obie Award-winning and Pulitzer finalist play is a laugh-out-loud farce about the complexities of race.
