The 2002 revival of a classic musical marked a significant moment in Broadway history, as it featured a new book by David Henry Hwang aimed at addressing past racial stereotypes. Originally a success in 1958, the musical faced criticism for its portrayal of Asian characters. Hwang's reimagining sought to confront these issues, but despite its innovative approach, the revival ultimately struggled at the box office, highlighting the complexities of cultural representation in theater.
