What I liked

I liked that this was a show we haven’t really seen before — one that questions a lot of things most Asian Americans face every day and throughout their lives. Paul truly hits the core of the issues and topics in the embattled minds of these “masked” individuals. I also enjoyed the use of multi-platform media, the interweaving between storylines and the fine balance of heartfelt drama and comedy. Overall, you can’t go wrong checking out this show!

What I didn't like

Now all I want… is MORE ASIAN AM REPRESENTATION OUT THERE! MORE SHOWS LIKE PAUL’S!!! YESSSSSS!!

My overall impression

A very important show that speaks on things that most Americans (even Asian Americans) don’t consider. More importantly, Paul is a powerful performer who showcases dynamic range in this one-man show. Multiple characters with an exciting through-line / message and a fantastic reimagining that will leave you wanting more.
