Pacific Overtures
"Stephen Sondheim's kabuki retelling of the opening of Japan to the West."
Music
In 1853 Japan, the story follows the Westernization of Japan, mainly through the story of Kayama, a samurai, and Manjiro, a fisherman. The lives of both men are radically changed by the coming of American ships to Japan.
