Oh, I agree we need another AAIP FOLLIES! I will remember that one fondly, though, because it’s the first FOLLIES my kids (all born in the late eighties) ever saw!
I’ve seen all three of the stagings of PACIFIC OVERTURES at EWP (and the National tour, of course): spring 1979 and the encore in fall 1979–both directed by Mako, who reprised his OBC role, as did about six others, like Ing; and in 1997, the inaugural production at their new David Henry Hwang Theatre. The 1979 production blew me away with its intensity. It was in a tiny house on Santa Monica Blvd, so small you could nearly touch the actors from a front row seat. Wow.
