The generation gap is given the Rodgers & Hammerstein treatment in this colourful approach to the age-old conflict. In San Francisco's Chinatown of the late '50s, nightclub owner Sammy Fong's traditional family has ordered him a picture-bride from China, hoping to end his pursuit of an enticing dancer. Mei Li arrives, shy and at sea in a world she doesn't understand, and it's clear that she's the wrong gal for the assimilated Sammy. However, Mei Li may be just the ticket for Sammy's buddy Wang Ta, whose traditionalist father is fighting a losing battle with his kids against rock 'n' roll, baseball and other trappings of the modern American lifestyle. By turns raucous and heartfelt, this delightful Chinese puzzle of embracing the new while honoring the old is a celebration of American ingenuity.
Flower Drum Song opened on Broadway at the St. James Theatre on December 1, 1958, starring Miyoshi Umeki, Pat Suzuki, Larry Blyden, Juanita Hall and Ed Kenney. The show ran for 600 performances.
