They've done a pretty decent job at recreating certain aspects of the look of the show but I can't bring myself to contribute to its box office takings. The only thing keeping it from being a full blown Yellowface production is that they haven't gone so far as taping the actors' eyelids.

Then again, it sounds like there are some casting issues…? Guess I'll have to do some more reading before I decide.
