Article/review!

Flamboyant...hehe.

That article reminded me of the funny day at the casting office when we were talking about Sides and it hit me--ohh, that's why it's called Sides! (which we use/make/discuss all the time). Oopsy.

Hehehehe, me too!

*petitions for Ding Ding picture*

I cracked up mainly because the pictures jogged my memory. To this day, I can't hear "Pop" without smiling.

Wow, Em. It's like your post was transported from the 80s. Yo?

:-P

Thanks to this thread that you started, Emcee, I went to see Sides tonight and of course I loved it! What's not to love?! The audience was in hysterics from the getgo. Yes, it was over the top and at times I would have enjoyed a few more "realistic" moments, but the "auditions" were certainly centered in the truth, and I think there were a lot of actors in the audience, judging from their very enthusiastic response. It's great that these 6 talented Asian-American actors were able to bring their show to East West Players. EWP has for decades offered Asian actors the chance to play roles they have traditionally been denied elsewhere, and in fact Cindy Cheung started with EWP a decade or so ago. It's only in reading this thread tonight that I realized why Rodney To's name was familiar to me. He and Anthony are a couple to be proud of. Sides is running through Sunday and anyone in L.A. who loves acting or actors or theater or just a fun 80 minutes of entertainment would do well to head over to Little Tokyo to see it! BTW, there were several local references added to make it an L.A. show (one of the characters lives off Melrose).
PS: Eslgr8 has a bit of a crush on Peter Kim.

Thanks for your post, esl. I'm really glad you liked it. You're right, what's not to love?

Did they keep the "oh, shoot. I broke the chair" segment? I think that was one of Peter Kim's scenes, where he fell and got all sweaty.

Haha! Ding Ding is based on a real person, as well. I think that's my favorite part. The whole thing is based on experiences people in the cast or people they know have had.

The cast is also essentially the creative team. When I was asked to see it, I was like "sh*t, what if I hate it?" But I laughed harder than like, ever.
