Inspired by true events, George Takei’s (Star Trek) Broadway debut presents an often overlooked chapter of American history: when the lives of 120,000 Japanese-Americans were forced into internment camps following the events of Pearl Harbor. This testament to the power of the human spirit follows one family as they fight between duty and defiance, custom and change, family bonds and forbidden loves. George Takei, who was himself an internee as a child, stars alongside Tony Award winner Lea Salonga (Miss Saigon, Mulan) in this enthralling and epic new musical. Runtime 150m
