The world premiere of David Henry Hwang's Kung Fu officially opens at off-Broadway’s Pershing Square Signature Center February 24. Starring Cole Horibe as Bruce Lee, the show will play a limited engagement through March 30 at the Irene Diamond Stage.

Directed by Leigh Silverman, Kung Fu tells the story of international icon Bruce Lee’s journey from troubled Hong Kong youth to martial arts legend.
