"The Wong Kids in the Secret of the Space Chupacabra Go!," Lloyd Suh's comic adventure story that premiered last October at the Children's Theatre, has had a successful transfer to New York.

The show, which opened recently at La MaMa, received a rave review in the New York Times.

The critic noted the "magic" of Ralph Pena's production and called Suh's script "exuberantly imaginative."

The show has the same cast and creative team in New York as it did in Minneapolis, including (pictured in the Dan Norman photo) Alton Alburo and Sasha Diamond. It was produced as a collaboration between CTC and New York's Ma-Yi Theater.
