“Whoever Tells the Story Tells the Truth” Cambodian Rock Band Review
Cambodian Rock Band by Lauren Yee is a powerful alternative musical that blends drama, comedy, and rock music to explore the lasting impact of the Cambodian Genocide across generations. Set against the backdrop of the Khmer Rouge Tribunal, the play follows a Cambodian-American father and daughter as they confront painful truths, personal history, and the enduring strength of family. With live performances of both classic Khmer rock and contemporary hits, this electrifying production is a poignant reflection on migration, memory, and the courage it takes to tell one’s story.
