The revival of 'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' at SF Oasis captures the essence of the early '90s with a campy twist. The production resonates strongly with Gen Xers and Millennials, representing a significant cultural moment through its characters. Major Hammy brings charisma to Will, while Mudd portrays a neurotic Carlton. The performance is filled with energetic lip-syncing, physical comedy, and nostalgic references. Director Snaxx emphasizes the importance of featuring Black performers and acknowledges how past controversies can affect the perception of beloved shows.
"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."
