SYNOPSIS:
When her kung fu gets her brother killed, budding Hong Kong martial artist Kee Lin must flee to America, into the jaws of Chinese Exclusion, with a good-for-nothing “paper son” imposter named Slim Chin in her dead brother’s place. Kee Lin and Slim Chin, two of America’s earliest illegal immigrants, must convince interrogators that they’re related to get a shot at a new life. In detention, these imposters become real family. Their paths become intertwined with a conflicted Chinese-American interpreter, a dastardly immigration inspector, and a goofy rich kid named Fat Pork. This genre-bending musical, filled with rap, rock, humor, poetry, and heart, asks the timely and timeless question, “What does it take to be(come) American?”
