The Leonard Lopate Show | Nov 15, 2017

Playwright David Henry Hwang joins us for the first Broadway revival of his Tony Award-winning play, "M. Butterfly," directed by Tony-winning Julie Taymor. The play explores the scandalous romance between a married French diplomat and a mysterious Chinese opera singer, and changes their understanding of what it means to love.

"M. Butterfly" is playing at the Cort Theatre (138 West 48^th Street, between 6th and 7th Ave.) through Feb. 25.
