...endlessly reported Yao-Shaq exchange of words. (When asked his thoughts on Yao, Shaq responded, “Tell Yao Ming, ‘Ching-chong-yang-wah-ah-soh’”). Yao has handled his time in the NBA with a grace and charm that makes advertisers giddy and supporters proud...

The show has traveled far from its origins in backyard Aussie suburbia: it’s already hit venues such as the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, London’s West End, and New York’s off-Broadway scene.
