Pacific Overtures
"Stephen Sondheim's kabuki retelling of the opening of Japan to the West."
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.
