The entire second act is shouted in this production. It was a huge letdown for me.

You're not a rube, you're a Patel.

I have seen the show performed in Chicago, though not the original production. The restaurant that the play is based in is about 1/2 mile from my home, and the production I saw had duplicated the cheesy Cantonese restaurant ambiance very well. Chicago Fan might know of the Pekin House on Devon.
Still the best egg rolls.
Helluva play

Sorry, can someone explain the 'patel' thing? I only know that word as an common Indian surname.

I've never seen GGR the movie, but I am seeing this play tomorrow. Then I'll rent the DVD and love it more than I would have had I not seen the play, correct?

@7 He's been here before. He designed Seafarer for the same director at the Rep.

I agree- not a perfect show (too much yelling in act 2 and I thought Leggett was going too much for humor/gregariousness in act 1 and not enough intimidation- but overall it was pretty solid.
