Hey, we're the Broadway cast of Yellowface. Written by David Henry Huang

and directed by Lee Silverman. Today, we're playing fact or fiction. Yellowface is based on real things
0:21
that happen to our playwright David. But not everything is entirely true
0:26
So each of us is gonna say two facts about ourselves and one piece of us
0:29
fiction. Let's get started. I used to get paid to get naked frequently
0:40
Steve Sondheim once told me that I inspired him to write a song for Bernadette Peters
0:48
And three, I don't want to brag, but I was kind of a big deal at Ealdraim
0:56
That's true. What was the first one? The first one was the first one was the first one

1:20
I did a lot of productions of Kim Butterfly, where I had knit naked. Right. Yeah
1:26
And then when I was due, first, did the first revival of Pacific Overtures I was the boy in the tree and he was
1:36
having trouble writing a song for Burnett Peters in Sending the Park to George and
1:42
for Act 2 and he told me that after he saw me sing someone in a tree he went out to
1:48
the lobby and started sketching out children in art for her in sending the park to George Wow Detainee And I never studied drama I never went to theater class Yeah
