Last week, I had the privilege of seeing David Henry Hwang's latest play Kung Fu, now playing off-Broadway at the Signature Theatre. The premiere production blends dance, Chinese opera, martial arts and drama to tell the story of international icon Bruce Lee, and his journey from troubled Hong Kong youth to martial arts legend. As a Bruce fan, you know I had to see it, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Reviews are on lock until the officially opening on February 24, but here's a cool New York Times article on Kung Fu's unique choreography, and breakdowns of some of the show's elaborate combat/dance sequences:
