Yang then obtained the stage rights for Ang Lee's film The Wedding Banquet. The drama likewise revolves around a Taiwanese family that has migrated to the US. It faces the modern dilemma of whether a son should marry and carry on the family line or find love as a homosexual.
之後，楊呈偉取得李安電影《喜宴》的劇本版權，並改編成音樂劇；故事同樣圍繞在移民美國的台灣家庭，面臨了兒子應該傳宗接代還是追尋同性之戀的現代議題。
