Also starring in this show, which runs through November 20, are Lisa Lu, Keyke Luke, Gigi Galon, Virginia Jaeger and Bryan Da Silva. Wang Ta (James Shigeta) is a young man schooled in the American tradition of romantic love. Resisting the efforts of his family to marry him off to a mail order bride from China, he courts instead a beautiful nightclub entertainer, Linda Low (Pat Suzuki). What the idealistic Wang Ta doesn't know is that Linda belongs be-longs to her boss, gambler Sammy Fong. Further complicating compli-cating the romantic situation is Helen Chao (Gigi Galon), who loves Wang Ta hopelessly. Pat Suzuki as Linda recreates recre-ates the part that boosted her to stardom when "Flower Drum Song," opened on Broadway Broad-way in 1958. Now as then she brings down the house with her opening, "I Enjoy Being a Girl." "Flower Drum Song" is another an-other production by LeRov Prinz.
