Sir Cedric Hardwicke played Asano on Broadway, and a fellow Knight of the Realm, Sir Alec Guinness, played him in the subsequent movie. Luckily, JRT has cast more aptly. Randall Duk Kim cuts a dignified figure as Asano. Exhibiting fine comportment and diction, which has something to do with his character and everything to do with his talent, he injects the old man with equal parts decorum and personality. Phyllis Newman, as Jacoby, at time seems a bit off her footing, but there\u2019s little denying she\u2019s perfect for the role\u2026.The evening\u2019s chief attraction, however, remains Kim, who valiantly crafts a genuinely noble figure out of the honorable but hackneyed Asano. It\u2019s a nice piece of artistic alchemy.\u201d<br \/>\n<b> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;\u2013Robert Simonson, TIMEOUT NEW YORK (2\/4-11\/1999)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018A MAJORITY OF ONE\u2019\u2026In kind, Kim (<i>Golden Child, The King and I<\/i>) gives Mr. Asano an infectious joyfulness.

The themes of this story transcend the limitations of its genre. Juxtaposed are the pain of losing a child to war, the resultant prejudice, and ultimately the resiliency of the human spirit. The message is uplifting\u2026.Stage veteran Phyllis Newman brings a quietly assertive edge to the role of Mrs. Jacoby\u2026.Randall Duk Kim, who plays Mr. Asano, is quite simply, splendid. Kim\u2019s Mr. Asano is dignified and charming. Yet, even while he projects an amazing gentleness of spirit, his stage presence is disarmingly powerful. The result is mesmerizing\u2026.\u201d<br \/>\n<b>&nbsp;\u2013MaryAnn Robertson, SPOTLIGHT (7\/29\/1999)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018A MAJORITY OF ONE\u2019 Forty years ago, Leonard Spigelgass wrote a warm, funny and very brave play that won four Tony nominations. He called it A Majority of One. Just fourteen years after the end of World War II, Spigelgass broached the possibility of a romance between a widowed Jewish mother from Brooklyn (who lost a son in the Pacific campaign during the War) and an equally mature Japanese widower. The play has returned to the New York stage in a production that is likely to be admired not by a majority of one, but of everyone\u2026.The play is grounded and made particularly compelling by the luminous and unerring performance given by Phyllis Newman. Never once does she stoop to turning Mrs. Jacoby into a Jewish mother caricature. Instead, Newman gives one of this year\u2019s most natural, understated, yet fiercely alive performances. It is a study in subtlety. She is ably abetted by Randall Duk Kim, who plays her gentlemanly Japanese love-interest, Mr. Asano\u2026.\u201d<br \/>\n<b>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;\u2013Scott &amp; Barbara Siegel, SHOW BUSINESS (2\/3-9\/1999)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018A MAJORITY OF ONE\u2019 The Jewish Repertory Theatre is now offering a revival of Leonard Spigelgass\u2019 \u2018A Majority of One,\u2019 starring <strong>Phyllis Newman<\/strong> and <strong>Randall Duk Kim<\/strong>. In this feel-good play East meets West, and love may or may not conquer all. An elegant Japanese gentleman and an attractive Jewish widow, who meet on shipboard, reach out to each other, and cross cultural borders\u2026.Moreover, this is a smoothly-staged production, under <strong>Richard Sabellico<\/strong>\u2019s able direction. What makes it extraordinary is Newman\u2019s performance. With her considerable stage presence, she carries the show on her ample shoulders. The play could get slushy, but she never lets it descend into cheap sentimentality. Whether clad in a kimono and sipping tea in a Japanese home, or serving gefilte fish to her Japanese suitor at a Sabbath dinner, she makes it all seem right, natural, and believable. The beauty and strength of her performance is well matched by Kim as her suitor. Though small of stature, Kim is an equally imposing and dignified, presence\u2026.\u201d<br \/>\n<b> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;\u2013Irene Backalenick, BACK STAGE (2\/5-11\/1999)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018A MAJORITY OF ONE\u2019\u2026Phyllis Newman gives an at first over-restrained performance that warms to the task; Randall Duk KIm is fine as Koichi, even when he forgets to turn his <em>l<\/em>\u2018s into <em>r<\/em>\u2018s\u2026.\u201d<br \/>\n<b>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;\u2013John Simon, NEW YORK MAGAZINE (2\/15\/1999)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018SWEET COMEDY POKES GENTLE FUN AT RACISM\u2019\u2026Newman\u2019s plainspoken Jewish widow is handsomely partnered by Randall Duk Kim, who was so effective as a the paterfamilias of that bickering household in last season\u2019s \u2018Golden Child.\u2019 Investing his businessman with quiet charm and a flavorful Japanese accent, Kim plays his iron-willed gent with a subtle twinkle of humor\u2026.\u201d<br \/>\n<b> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;\u2013Michael Sommers, THE STAR-LEDGER (1\/28\/1999)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018JRT\u2019s \u2018A MAJORITY OF ONE\u2019\u2013ACTORS MAKE DATED SHOW WORTHWHILE\u2019 What\u2019s not to love about Mrs. Bertha Jacoby\u2013quintessential Jewish mama with a formula for eternal vigor that involves disciplined recourse to \u2018hot water and lemon?\u2019 As played by the irrepressible Phyllis Newman, Mrs. J. is a delight and the most compelling reason, along with an elegant and heartwarming performance by co-star Randall Duk Kim, to catch the Jewish Repertory Theatre\u2019s current revival of <em>A Majority of One<\/em>\u2026.If only the rest of Majority of One had half the zip, self-mocking humor and quiet wisdom that characterize Newman\u2019s and Kim\u2019s polished performances.

The role of the mother can be a focus-pulling turn, but Newman doesn\u2019t play it that way. Instead, she offers a shaded, dignified portrait of a warm, plausible woman who sees the funny side of life and gets the joke along with the rest of us. As her admirer, Randall Duk Kim has a mature sexiness and dignified bearing; the closing scene where he and Newman sit down to dinner and a new beginning is full of romantic tension and therefore a wonderful payoff for the audience who has come to care for these two\u2026.\u201d<br \/>\n<b>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;\u2013Cathy Nelson Price, PORTLAND PRESS HERALD (7\/21\/1999)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018DON\u2019T BE LEFT OUT OF A MAJORITY OF ONE\u2019 A Majority of One, now on stage at the Ogunquit Playhouse, is one of the theater\u2019s best productions of the season. It was well performed, directed and the visuals are top-notch. The script itself, which hits some pretty weighty subject matter, does so with a light story\u2013and yet manages not to trivializing the issue. It\u2019s entertainment with a point\u2013minus the heavy hammer\u2026.Randall Duk Kim, as Mr. Asano, simply stole the show. This man is an exceptional performer. He has incredible charm, that special je ne sais quoi that makes an actor stand out for more than their obvious talent. Each time he walked on stage everything jumped to life including the audience\u2019s interest. This play is a good solid piece, well worth getting out to. This man makes it a shame to miss\u2013a reason to even see it twice\u2026.Director Richard Sabellico plays this show true to script. The characters are all who they should be.
