Mr. Yunioshi at Sierra Madre Playhouse

Stage Scene LA - Highly Recommended

"...Asian-American actor J. Elijah Cho turns the tables on the dubious Golden Era Hollywood practice of casting Caucasian actors as “Orientals” in the bitingly hilarious Mr. Yunioshi, Cho’s thought-provoking look back at the 1930s/40s movie star now perhaps best known for playing Audrey Hepburn’s angry Japanese landlord in Breakfast At Tiffany’s."

Stage Raw - Somewhat Recommended

"...The show is a tight 60 minutes (originally crafted for Fringe Festivals, where going even a minute over is unacceptable), and interrogates important notions of racial depictions and opportunities in entertainment. It is a pity that the show concludes with an almost apologetic breaking of the fourth wall and cutesy, out-of-character dance number. Had Cho woven himself cohesively into the play from the get-go, the product would have been more layered. Still, there is a kindness in Cho’s work, even when risk or nuance are sacrificed."
