Drawing an enthusiastic audience response earlier this summer, the Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) today premiered the official trailer of Double Happiness, an original comedic theatrical dinner and show intertwined with traditional Chinese wedding banquet elements and a 10-course meal curated by Dim Sum Go Go. The production was brought to life by a talented and accomplished group of creatives including a team from MOCA and written by Emily Locke and directed by Dennis Yueh-Yeh Li. Since its debut in June, all the performances have been sold out, captivating audiences of all backgrounds and positioning itself as a new, well-loved addition to the New York City arts offerings.

Double Happiness tells the remarkable story of Claire and Alex as they attempt to combine cultures and merge families at their Chinese wedding banquet. Will love conquer all? Which family is more traditional? As the wedding begins, conflicts start to emerge.

The show explores the nuances of the Chinese American/Immigrant identity, allowing the audience to enjoy a traditional Chinese wedding. The wedding guests will see the dynamics of the bride and groom’s families unfold. After a dramatic ceremony, the banquet dinner begins, and the play continues.

The cast includes Fran Mae (Anna), Asha Devi (Cindy), Penelope Hsu (Joyce), Philippe Leong (Ted), Nancy Ma (Claire), Connor Kopko (Alex), Louis So (Eric), Miguel Sutedjo (Elliot), N. Yao (Mary), Lora Yuen (Grandmother), Zsuzska Beswick (Claire Understudy/Bridesmaid), and Griffin Glick (Alex Understudy/Groomsman).
