| Laura, I couldn't agree with you more. At a time when so many new shows are jejune jukebox musicals or safe stage adaptations of hit movies, ''Soft Power'' is a real original. Hwang and Tesori's satirical look at China and America spoke to me and made me think and laugh a lot. Kudos, too, to Conrad Ricamora, Alyse Alan Louis and the rest of the Asian-American cast. ''Soft Power'' won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I drank it up with glee. |
