Pacific Overtures

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

Sep 6, 1976 · 2h 20m

In 1853 Japan, the story of Kayama, a samurai, and Manjiro, a fisherman, sets the backdrop of the Westernization of Japan. The lives of both men are radically changed by the coming of American ships to Japan.
