I stress anyone that is reading this sentence to venture to American Stage to see THE CHINESE LADY, to learn a forgotten soul and an entire neglected history…
It’s a two-person show, and the gripping, searing performances at the heart of this are unforgettable, to put it mildly…

Yeh is also outstanding in his interpretation of President Andrew Jackson…
