The Floating Kingdom, Japan, 1853. The arrival of Commodore Perry's fleet launches this spectacular musical, a visually stunning masterpiece that mingles elements of traditional Japanese theatre with the dazzle of Broadway at its most inventive. With haunting songs and astonishing theatricality, one of the theatre's greatest composers chronicles the Westernization of an island empire undisturbed for centuries. |
