Rock Out With TheatreSquared’s Production Of Cambodian Rock Band

Lauren Yee’s Cambodian Rock Band, the critically acclaimed show heralded by The Los Angeles Times as “a fierce, gorgeous, heartwarming, comedic fairy tale,” is rocking the stage at TheatreSquared, with shows running through Mar 24.

  • Going Home: This darkly funny, electric new play tells the story of a father who escaped a murderous regime returning home after 30 years in search of his wayward daughter. As the play jumps back in time, it’s a rock epic meets thrilling mystery as both are forced to face the music of the past.

  • Rocking On: Backed by a live band playing contemporary Dengue Fever hits and classic Cambodian oldies, the play explores themes of family, memory, and resilience.

Rock out with TheatreSquared and reserve tickets HERE.
