LUCKY SEED

With the right amount of spice and vigor, Telly Leung gives a spirited performance of this humorous story of Chinese American family dynamics. The wealthy Sun family has a rich lineage but no current heir to their name and successful family business. When the matriarch selects her nephew Wayward--who everyone knows is gay--to father a male heir, family scandals, conflict, and drama ensue. Leung portrays the many members of the Sun family equally well, and their cleverly narrated antics will have listeners keeping track of who's who. While Leung's performance mostly involves snarky comments on the family drama, there are some tender moments to embrace, too. Recommended for listeners seeking a deliciously delivered romp.
