Pan Asian’s heartwarming musical that evokes the spirit of the 1940’s. Set in San Francisco’s nightclub circuit, a restaurant is transformed into a cabaret featuring songs, jokes, romance and dances despite the looming specter of WWII and internment.
“SHANGHAI LIL’S is Pan Asian Rep’s tribute to that quintessential American theatrical form -the musical- and to Asian American pioneers on the cabaret circuit. Musicals embody the American Dream where everything good can happen: boy and girl meet, fall in love, be thwarted in life and still end up happily ever after. Where else but in a musical can you dance with a mouse or slosh around in the rain without catching pneumonia, or woo and marry a girl by riding up in a horse and suit of armor?“
-Tisa Chang, Artistic Producing Director
Starring: Jaygee Macapugay, Christine Toy Johnson, Leanne Cabrera, Whitney Kam Lee, Rebecca Lee Lerman, Timothy Ng, and Lisa Villamaria
