Moses Goods’ “superhero origin story” Lovey Lee finally comes back home to Kumu Kahua Theatre four years after its digital premier over Zoom in 2020. Based on the true story of māhū icon Kealoha “Lovey Lee” Kelekolio, the show paints an intricate, beautiful, and often heartbreaking portrait of queer Hawaiian existence in the 1970s, straddling the very different worlds of Lovey’s one hānau and San Fransisco.
