One of Stephen Sondheim’s most ambitious creations comes to the Chocolate Factory in a co-production with Umeda Arts Theater in Japan, where it has already been a huge success in Tokyo and Osaka.
The tale of the Western arrival in Japan in 1853, a nation previously isolated, is depicted through a Western lens but enacted in an Eastern manner. Prior to this event, Japan had maintained centuries of peaceful isolation, untouched by external influences.
Nonetheless, with the arrival of Commodore Perry and the Americans, a civilization characterized by its timeless traditions and uninterrupted tranquility starts to unravel due to the introduction of new concepts and influences.
Pacific Overtures is Directed by Matthew White, with Set Design by Paul Farnsworth, Costume Design by Ayako Maeda, Sound Design by Gregory Clarke, Choreography by Ashley Nottingham, Musical Supervision by Catherine Jayes and Orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick.
