People behind the production
Cambodian Rock Band is a transformative part-play, part-rock concert that weaves Dengue Fever’s Cambodian rock repertoire into a vivid narrative about a Khmer Rouge-era story. Celebrated for its daring fusion of theater and music, the production invites audiences to experience history through a dynamic live performance. The work originated with a world premiere at South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa, CA, in March 2018 as part of Lauren Yee’s acclaimed play. Since then, it has earned critical praise and notable awards, including the Harold and Mimi Steinberg/ATCA New Play Award in 2019. The show has continued to evolve, with an off-Broadway production at Signature Theatre in New York in 2020 and an upcoming 2025 engagement in Los Angeles that extends into March. This page highlights the performer behind the musical heartbeat of Cambodian Rock Band, the ongoing discography linked to Dengue Fever, and how the production travels through cities with strong theater communities.
