View Diamond Head Theatre Profile
 Revived and rewritten for Broadway in 2002, the David Henry Hwang version of FLOWER DRUM SONG maintains its beloved songs by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, but updates the storyline with delightful results.
In San Francisco’s Chinatown, Chinese immigrants struggle to find their identity in their new country. Some are more successful than others. One recent arrival is Mei-Li who escaped Communist China for a new life in America. She arrives, hoping to sing at the Golden Pearl, a theatre specializing in Chinese opera. The owner’s son, Ta, however has a more Americanized theatre in mind. Mei-Li, disappointed and disenchanted, makes plans to move to Hong Kong but a last minute plea by Ta could change her mind. Musical highlights include: “A Hundred Million Miracles”, “I Am Going to Like It Here”, and “I Enjoy Being a Girl”.
 Guest directed and choreographed by Greg Zane, with musical direction by Judy Yoshioka, the cast features: Autumn Ogawa as Mei-Li, Brad Mezurashi as Ta, Wil Kahele as Wang, Kathryn Lee as Linda Low, Cathy Foy Mahi as Madame Liang, Gordon Ing as Chin, Kenji Higashihama as Harvard, and Cole Horibe as Chao.
FLOWER DRUM SONG is sponsored by: A&B Foundation, City Mill, Hilton Hawaiian Village, ABC Corporation, American Savings Bank, Carolyn A. Berry, C. S. Wo & Sons, and Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
