Rave review from Ed Malin of NYTheatre.com
Rave review from Ed Malin (Click the link above but warning - MASSIVE SPOILER ALERTS)
"There's not a dull moment in this show, nor will there likely be an empty seat. The fast-paced performance seems to get a laugh from every facial expression the talented ladies choose to give us."
"Would no one read a book or go see a movie about Asian American women unless they were made to be "exotic"? Siho Ellsmore and Marisa Marquez are suggesting just this in their hilarious show Yellow Brick Wall: Angry White Men Played By Two Happy Asian Girls."
