What I liked

Personable performers, though Asian female suffers from NOT being In Person!

What I didn't like

The coda, which makes sense, is too abrupt and needs to be rethought and revised.

My overall impression

Schuyler IS Handsome, as advertised, but a more accurate title = MY DAYS & NIGHTS IN BANGKOK! Surprisingly, Schuyler doesn’t play himself in this True account of a 3-year teaching gig in the Orient but performs a dozen monologues as chauvinistic men he encountered in Thailand. Interspersed (40% of the show) = another series of monologues by an Asian female about HER life as a “pro”, projected, not In Person, which would have had more impact! (and she’s 100% unidentified and uncredited, in program & ads). Interesting, but comes to an abrupt coda (with Schuyler as Schuyler) which needs to be rethought and revised.
