Michelle Yeoh, who "gives a virtuoso performance" (RogerEbert.com) plays Evelyn, a laundromat owner who just can't seem to finish her taxes. And before she knows it, she's thrust into multiple universes, each one more kaleidoscopic than the last. The existence of all the universes is under threat from an omnipotent figure with a personal connection to Evelyn, and she is the only one who can save them all. Got it?

Regular engagements begin Friday in the Rose and Starlight Room.
