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

Oasis' revival of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air taps into the nostalgia of Gen Xers and Millennials, providing a fresh yet familiar take on the classic show. The production features vibrant performances with charismatic portrayals of the iconic characters, embracing the humor and cultural references of the '90s. Director Snaxx emphasized the importance of featuring Black performers in a nostalgic context. Despite ongoing controversies surrounding its original stars, the show remains significant for many viewers, bringing back fond memories from a pivotal era in television history.
"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."
"We return to these shows because they meant something to us at the time, and when places like Oasis bring them back, it allows us to relive those moments."
