M. BUTTERFLY
by David Henry Hwang
Everyman Theatre
DC Metro Theater Arts
"The 'actress' Song is played with engrossing precision by Vichet Chum. In fact, the subtlety of Chum’s performance is what gives this production of M. Butterfly its unique power."
Broadway World
"Making his Everyman debut is the astonishing actor Vichet Chum who gives a performance worthy of a 'bravo' or should I say 'brava.' He is certainly believable as a Chinese opera diva, a spy, and as a man, Song Liling. His seduction of Gallimard is worth the price of admission."

A DREAM OF RED PAVILIONS
by Jeremy Tiang Pan Asian Repertory Company The Clurman Theatre at Theatre Row The New York Times "Life could be complicated for Chinese aristocrats in the 1700s. Just ask the members of the Jia family, who populate “A Dream of Red Pavilions,” Pan Asian Repertory’s handsome and solemn new production at the Clurman Theater." ... "He is soon born to the Jia family as Baoyu (Vichet Chum). Before his transition, he meets and is charmed by a talking flower, who expresses the same wish. She is born as Daiyu (Kelsey Wang), a Jia cousin who comes to live with them. Baoyu and Daiyu are drawn to each other, but family members keep them apart. In fact, they trick Baoyu into marrying another cousin, with the help of the traditional opaque bridal veil." ... "...played by a valiant cast of nine" TheaterScene.net "... each member of the cast makes an indelible impression in very different roles, as well as creating a credible family unit. As Baoyu, on whom the family's fortunes rest, Vichet Chum is at first callow in the ways of a profligate playboy and later sober in the ways of a philosophical young man." History News Network "The acting is first rate, with Vichet Chum as Baoyu and Kelsey Wang as Daiyu heading up a talented cast." |

DOT BY COLMAN DOMINGO
Humana Festival of New American Plays Actors Theatre of Louisville Courier-Journal "Also, we see more of the illegal immigrant that Shelly has hired, Fidel, played by Vichet Chum. He has become a much needed confidant and ally to Dot in helping her children understand what her life is like as being cognizant one minute and lost to dementia the next." Leo Weekly "And finally, there’s Fidel (Vichet Chum) a gentle, soft-spoken refugee — from 'Kayakeestan,' says Dot — whose patient, compassionate care for Dot stems from a deeply felt link." Evansville Courier & Press "Director Meredith McDonough's seven-member cast (that includes University of Evansville graduate Vichet Chum) had many of us in the audience tittering, chuckling and sniffling through the more than two-hour matinee Sunday." |
