Description

The Twin-Cities based Chinese-American Kim Loo Sisters was a quartet that got its start in the 1920s. The sisters took their act to Chinatowns across the country and even to Broadway. Nearly 100 years after the sisters got their start, there’s a new reason to shine a light on the Kim Loo Sisters. This time it’s an exciting new musical about them called “Blended Harmony: The Kim Loo Sisters.” Minnesota-born playwright Jessica Huang wrote the play, which will premier at the History Theatre in St. Paul on Saturday. Huang spoke to MPR News guest host Emily Bright about the show and its significance.
