Synopsis:
The generation gap is given the Rodgers & Hammerstein treatment in this colourful approach to the age-old conflict. In San Francisco's Chinatown of the late '50s, nightclub owner Sammy Fong's traditional family has ordered him a picture-bride from China, hoping to end his pursuit of an enticing dancer. Mei Li arrives, shy and at sea in a world she doesn't understand, and it's clear that she's the wrong gal for the totally assimilated Sammy. However, she may be just the ticket for Sammy's buddy, whose traditionalist father is fighting a losing battle with his kids against rock 'n' roll, baseball, sports cars and the typical trappings of the modern American life-style. Full of intrigue and comedic moments, through song and dance, the story of families, friendships, and romance are conveyed in this timeless Asian American musical.
