Allegiance – Charing Cross Theatre
Veteran actor, George Takei is fulfilling a lifelong ambition to be on stage in London and is doing it with dignity and aplomb.
Allegiance is a very attractive, quite traditional musical with some of the most powerful story telling I’ve seen in new musical theatre for a while. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour in 1942 all Japanese Americans, many of them born in the US, were rounded up, deprived of their property and assets and put in pretty primitive internment camps hundreds of miles away.
