I am jealous of anyone who's been able to watch the new Broadway musical Allegiance, currently in previews at The Longacre Theatre. Inspired by George Takei's true-life experience in an internment camp, Allegiance follows one family's extraordinary journey through wrongful imprisonment during World War II.
Allegiance stars George Takei as Sam Kimura/Ojii San, Lea Salonga as Kei Kimura and Telly Leung as Sammy Kimura; with book by Marc Acito, Jay Kuo, and Lorenzo Thione and music and lyrics by Jay Kuo.
Check out these brand-new official first-look photos from Allegiance:
Meanwhile, Uncle George and Co. have been chronicling the long journey to open Allegiance on Broadway in the fascinating behind-the-scenes documentary webseries Trek to Broadway. In Episode 6: You Could Drive A Person Crazy, the saga continues as the show laboriously cranks through exhaustive tech rehearsals, with the clock ticking as the production hurtles towards previews.
Take a look:
If you're in New York City, Allegiance is now playing at Broadway's Longacre Theatre. Ticket are available now. For further information, visit the show's website and follow updates on Facebook.
