Speaker:Cecilia Chen, who plays an important role in inviting Broadway Performer/Playwright Welly Yang to Vancouver, introduced the show to us and took us into the journey of music.

 

Join Broadway Performer/Playwright Welly Yang, Dina Morishita, and friends in a Night of Broadway Style Musical Theatre. Following SOLD OUT shows in Los Angeles and Taipei, Vancouver is the Canadian Premiere of FINDING HOME - a terrific show for the entire family!

In a musical journey about finding home, Yang explores three generations of family history: stories of leaving home and finding home, of love lost and love found, and of dreams deferred and dreams realized. The show artfully weaves together Broadway classics with contemporary songs by Elton John, Lea Ann Womack, Tim Rice, Dan Hill, Luther Vandross and Billy Joel among others.

Although Welly Yang's deeply personal story "FINDING HOME" is the story of one family, it also parallels the stories of a generation of families who immigrated to North America and struggled to make a home and future for themselves and their children.

The New York Times has called Welly's stage performances "SMASHING," "GRIPPING," "FUNNY" and "TOUCHING" and "confirmation that an ethnically specific work can in fact be a moving multicultural experience."
