Title: Here we go again...
Review: If the characters spoke in Chinese, which is what they would have done if they conversed in real life, no non-Chinese-speaking member of the theater audience and no non-Chinese-speaking CD listeners would be able to understand the story. And if the characters spoke English with a thick accent, then the show would have perpetuated the condescending attitude the original Flower Drum Song production had, which is one of the things this new version is rallying against!Language in the show is obviously used for audience communication purposes, not as an ethnic identifier, a BASIC technique that's also used in the movies. Some people need to acquire some education in theater production before being allowed to voice their "authoritative" views. Music fan's (May 25) comment reeks of stupidity!
