    Michael Lee is finally FINALLY getting the recognition he deserves in Korea. Chris in Miss Saigon, Jesus Christ Superstar, Hedwig, Frank n Furter in Rocky Horror, and now Nostradamus in Something Rotten. Hope he comes back to America to perform again soon!!

    Colleen Kennedy Hi! If it still helps, I want to share that they will show it again in select cinemas on Dec 7th (with only limited showtimes), so check out your local cinemas if it will be there. :) Also, next year (Feb21-April1), there will be a production in LA, with some of its original casts. :) Another good news is, there is also going to be a DVD that will be released next year! :) For more details, here is their website --> allegiancemusical.com/#RB0UizfQuVxxpBME.97

    THANK YOU! This looks so good, and is such a great subject for a musical, and an important, shameful part of US history. Seems like an excellent cast. Ms. Salonga and some of the others don't really look all that Japanese, but I"m always happy to do that old 'suspension of disbelief,' when things are made to work for me. (And, please, let's not get into a gazillionth~in my life, anyway~argument about casting, race, nationality, ethnicity, orientation, "non-traditional," "color-blind," absolutely perfectly realistic *in a freaking musical!*, etc., etc., and so forth!) Thank you George Takei! (Come to think of it, I don't even remember who the songwriters are; time to read up on it.)

    LOL @ masterpiece. The problem with the song and most if not all the songs in Allegiance is the music sounds completely derivative of every Broadway show tune before it, nothing about this particular piece stands out in any meaningful way, unless of course you're unfamiliar with over a century of Broadway scores. And it stands out more given the subject matter and the Japanese American experience it's trying to express, but fails pretty bad in doing so.

It's funny and clever and fun but also absolutely biting and sarcastic and just under the surface there's so much anger despite the fact that they're having fun with it. This was the song that made me really want to see this show, and I still occasionally just think about what a good song it is.

    It's a play anyone would enjoy. I saw it this past Sat eve. just wonderful throughout with ingenious prop work, teriffic casting and really good music. the vocals were god and tight throughout though a few cueues were off kilter. It's possible the cast couldn't hear the orchestra at times. it was nice they projected up to the top balconies as well. Paying attention to that is sure to bring great success. one could well tell that George Takei put his emotional life into this and the feeling is he transplanted those bitter sweet roots into this play. Congrats to all the cast and crew who made this so exciting. I just loved it.

    “My fellow Americans, give me your tired, your poor, Your homes, your businesses, your money. Just mark yes to questions 27 and 28, I will let you stay right here in the Heart Mountain Relocation Resort.” Desert, swamp, or dusty waste, they say location’s key, Sure you shiver in this icebox, but cheer up, the rent is free, And we all love to freeze in line for soggy bowls of rice, Just put up and shut up, ‘cuz you’re in paradise. “Is everybody happy?!?” “No!” “Tough!” When it’s pitch black dark at night, the army might assume, That you’re trying to escape if you’re running to the bathroom, Let them aim their spotlights down, but smile real nice, Just put up and shut up, ‘cuz you’re in paradise. ‘Aint it grand in paradise? The water tastes like rust, the bedding’s filled with crappy lice, But here’s a little sound advice (You better take my sound advice), Just put up and shut up, ‘cuz you’re in paradise. “Say, does anybody know where to get good sushi around here?” “Try Tule Lake!” “There’s no water in Tule Lake, it’s dryer than Mrs. Tanaka’s rice cakes!” “That’s not true!” “Say, let me ask you a question! Why are Japanese-American kids so good at math?” “I don’t know. Oh! Why are Japanese-American kids so good at math?” “Because they spend the whole year in concentration camp!” “Okay, that’s enough!” “Sorry, Sam! Your uncle Sam’s got a few questions for ya!” Now we aim to separate disloyals from the rest, All you have to do to pass is hold your nose and answer yes, A no-no seals your fate, but you will pay a heavy price, They’ll grab you and send you away from paradise. ‘Aint it grand in Paradise, The snakes will let you be if you feed them all the mice, If you answer no twice (Lord, if you checked it twice!), You know, know you’ll go, go away from paradise! You don’t want to take that chance, so answer yes, yes! Do the paradise dance. “Here we go! Come on girls!” “I see you! Come on!” “-no, it’s okay! It’s alright, it’s alright!” “She doesn’t want to!” “Nice and easy! One, two. One, two.” Paradise! Hey, everybody! It’s for our own good, right? Paradise! So we better just do what we should, right? Just put up! And shut up! Just put up, and shut up, just put up, and shut up, Just put up, and shut up. Just shut it up! ‘Cuz you’re in paradise! ‘Aint this paradise?!

Michael's outfit from the Old Globe is kind of purple, or something close. Yes, you were right, the Father in Old Globe production is not the same as the Father in Broadway. Aside from the father, there are quite a few characteres from the Old Globe production that did not reprise their roles in Broadway the actors playing Mike Masaoka and Hannah's , for example.
