Yellow Fever: An Original Musical Cabaret

  • Comedy
  • Music

Creepy old white guys, incel asiaphiles, trophy wife w*nkers – it’s a minefield out there for a young Asian woman...

Kelly wants to find love. Kelly is Asian. Kelly has a problem: the only men interested have this thing called Yellow Fever. Where did it come from? How can we cure it? Will Kelly ever find true love?

Kelly Lim Harris presents Yellow Fever: An Original Musical Cabaret, a shocking, hilarious, and deeply personal exposé of her quest to find love beyond fetish – and of the industry that feeds it.

Deliciously irreverent, the show features originally written and produced pop-rock songs including 'Yellow Fever', 'Please Don't Tell Me) I'd Be Great in Miss Saigon', and 'Endless Disappointment'.

Get ready to fight for your happy ending.
