David Henry Hwang's Kung Fu Fights its Way to Another Extension Off-Broadway

David Henry Hwang's Kung Fu, starring Cole Horibe as Bruce Lee, lives to fight another day. Or rather week. The production has once again extended its run at off-Broadway’s Pershing Square Signature Center and will now play through April 6 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. The new play blends dance, Chinese opera, martial arts and drama into a new theatrical form. The production follows Lee in America as he struggles to prove himself as a fighter, a husband, a father and a man.

In addition to Horibe, the cast of Kung Fu features Phoebe Strole, Jon Rua, Emmanuel Brown, Clifton Duncan, Bradley Fong, Francis Jue, Peter Kim, Ari Loeb, Reed Luplau, Kristen Faith Oei and Christopher Vo.
