David Henry Hwang's Yellow Face Opens on Broadway October 1

Roundabout Theatre Company's Broadway production of Yellow Face by David Henry Hwang officially opens on Broadway October 1 after beginning previews September 13 at the Todd Haimes Theatre. The production is a limited engagement through November 24.

Directed by Leigh Silverman, Yellow Face stars Daniel Dae Kim as DHH, Kevin Del Aguila as Actor A, Ryan Eggold as Marcus, Francis Jue as HYH, Marinda Anderson as Actor B, Greg Keller as Reporter, and Shannon Tyo as Leah. Casting is by Carrie Gardner and Jilliam Cimini.

Inspired by real events, the playwright's fictionalized doppelgänger DHH (Kim) leads protests against yellowface casting in Miss Saigon, but then mistakenly casts a white actor as the Asian lead in one of his own plays.

The creative team includes set designer Arnulfo Maldonado, costume designer Anita Yavich, lighting designer Lap Chi Chu, sound designers and composers Caroline Eng and Kate Marvin, and projection designer Yee Eun Nam. Charels Means is production stage manager.
