Over the past decade, Kevin So’s music has, in essence, been the unofficial soundtrack of Asian America. Now Mr. So’s extensive repertoire has been molded into a musical, VICTOR WOO - THE AVERAGE ASIAN AMERICAN, music and lyrics by Kevin So, and the book written by Kevin Merritt. This hotly anticipated new musical will premiere during a coveted slot in New York City's International Fringe Festival .

In the 1980s, preteen Victor Woo dreams of becoming a pop star sensation. However, his Chinese-born parents envision a very different future for Victor. Confronting cultural expectations and media stereotypes, VICTOR WOO - THE AVERAGE ASIAN AMERICAN reconciles his duty to his family, his heritage, and himself.
