CHINGLISH, the new comedy by Tony Award-winning and two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly), and directed by OBIE Award winner Leigh Silverman, will begin previews at the Longacre Theatre on Tuesday, October 11th. The show comes to Broadway following its acclaimed world premiere production at Goodman Theatre in Chicago this summer.

Broadway Beat was there to meet the company this morning and brings you interviews with the cast and creatives below!

CHINGLISH is the new comedy about the challenges of doing business in a culture whose language-and ways of communicating-are worlds apart from our own. An American businessman arrives in a bustling Chinese province looking to score a lucrative contact for his family's sign-making firm. He soon finds that the complexities of such a venture far outstrip the expected differences in language, customs and manners - and calls into questions even the most basic assumptions of human conduct.
