Both Sunday and Saturday dinners for Gung Haggis Fat Choy were incredible. Lots of positive comments. People who saw the CBC tv special also raved. 3 Nights of Gung Haggis. We had a rave comment from a Seattlite who watched the show and is asking for copies. I have passed on the message to CBC Regional Director Rae Hull. If you want to see the show re-run, or want to give compliments – please call CBC television in Vancouver. If you post comments on this web blog – I will forward them to CBC.
I will post a review of the Sunday show here later, as I am still very fatigued. But I am still hearing great kudos for our 3 wonderful co-hosts Adrienne Wong, Margaret Gallagher and Heather Pawsey, as well as Sound Engineer Noah Drew and Associate Producer Jim Wong-chu.
If you would like to see more of Heather – She will be performing the principal role in the Burnaby Lyric Opera production “The Elixir of Love” which opens Feb. 14 at the Shadbolt Centre and is also on Feb. 19 and 21 at 8:00 p.m. and Feb. 16 & 18 at 2:00.
Adrienne Wong is directing The Plum Tree at the Firehall Theatre – details tba.
And check out the production of “Sex in Vancouver: Chapter 2 (Other Women)” by Vancouver Asian Canadian Theatre, opening on January 28th at the Roundhouse in Vancouver. We saw Chapter 1 and it was a lot of fun. For more information. Check the website for Vancouver Asian Canadian Theatre, otherwise known as VACT.
I would love to see this special re-broadcast — it was truly delightful. I searched our cable guide for days after the original broadcast hoping to catch it again but to no avail. Even if it were re-broadcast (next year?), I would still love to find a way to buy a video copy of the special — my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the show and want to be able to see it again and again.
