Yellow

BRAVO! Saw the show with my husband last night and I must admit I really didn’t know what we were on our way to go see. I was captivated the whole time, laughed, cried, and emotionally moved by this production!
The cast was fabulous, portraying a family going through it’s own journey of self discovery and what really matters in this life, the power of forgiveness, loyalty and the road to healing.
INCREDIBLE and a MUST SEE! Catch them while they’re still here!

It made me cry. A 2 hour play performed before an audience of no more than 100 people made me CRY.
Needless to say, the entire cast was absolutely fantastic. It was watching a movie/​soap opera/​reality show unfold, except no matter what gender, race, ethnicity you are — there was definite connection with the audience between at least one person, a storyline, or even an emotion. At the peak of drama, you could hear a pin drop. Or maybe a sniffle. There were times I had to turn around with wide eyes as if to say, «really? REALLY?»
The set was great as well. You notice subtle differences as the play progresses, as natural as it should be in real life.
Seriously, props to Del Shores and his whole gang for this 5 star play!

We have seen quite a few plays at the Geffen, the Ahmanson, and others here in LA, and none have been any better than this play, «Yellow», by Del Shores. You will not find a dull moment in this funny, touching play.
The actors are incredible… I felt like I was watching the acting in a great movie, as if they had edited it down to only the best performances after many takes… yet it’s all live, every emotion.
The set itself is something I really enjoyed… You have to see it to appreciate the cutaway middle-​class home with the see-​through walls, many times showing action throughout the home at the same time… like I said, you will have to see it.
You will really enjoy this one. Park in the lot down the street, and go early to have a margarita next door.

I don’t know a lot about theatre, but I know what I like!
I went to see this show last week and was very impressed by the overall experience. It’s an interesting story, presented by engaging personalities. I thought that it was a very balanced production. The story was good with some serious bits and some funny bits. The actors were very good, each was very convincing in their role and they played well against each other, nobody was hogging the spotlight or trying to outshine the others. I also thought that the production values were very high for a relatively small theatre production; the lighting, sound, set construction, costumes, makeup, etc, were all spot on.
PARKING, ETC. — was very easy flat $ 4 after six o’clock at the city-​operated lot a block west of the theatre. You can also valet park around the corner at Marix Tex Mex ($ 10 combined dinner and theatre). We parked at the public lot and walked a block to save the $ 6 (which we then spent on an extra two-​for-​one Margarita at Marix!). We also did some shopping at Gelson’s afterwards, but that’s really not that interesting, is it?
This is some information from the website for the show and tells you a bit about the story, the setting etc.:
