SF Oasis brings back 'Fresh Prince'- and yes, there's a Carlton dance
Briefly

Oasis has revived its production of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, appealing strongly to Gen Xers and Millennials who cherish the original show. This adaptation, rich in vibrant performances and nostalgic references, transports audiences back to the 90s. Director Snaxx emphasizes the importance of featuring Black performers and acknowledges the series' cultural impact, despite modern controversies surrounding its stars. The show's resonance and joyful moments affirm its lasting significance beyond any negative associations that might overshadow its legacy.
"It was important to me to not only introduce a new show that was deeply nostalgic for me, but a show that featured Black performers."
"The thing about TV shows is they're so 'of a time,' and sometimes the material (or the actors) age poorly... what the show means to me is bigger than all of that."
