Here's the latest news on the "Allegiance" musical!
It's certainly come a long way since this project began in 2014!
"Hello Friends,
Things are really getting exciting here in Los Angeles. As you may have heard, I’m reprising the role I played on Broadway in the Los Angeles premiere of Allegiance at the Aratani Theater in the heart of Little Tokyo. This production from East West Players and the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center brings a new artistic vision to the musical that was inspired by my own experiences in the internment camps as a child.
Performances of Allegiance start tonight and, with our current political climate, this show could not be more relevant. It is a powerful reminder of what dangers come when fear and prejudice override human compassion.
On a lighter note, this production brings Allegiance back to where it all began for me more than 75 years ago! Take a look at all of the buzz! You'll recognize some familiar faces on the ABC News clip and the LA Weekly cover story below. Give 'em a quick watch or read... and hopefully, I'll see YOU in Los Angeles.
Sincerely,
George Takei"
