My friend asked me, "Where's my book of opera puns?" I said, "I put it sPacifically overture house."
The joke may be bad, but the show should be great. Join APABA-DC to see Pacific Overtures at the Signature Theater, a musical that features a predominantly Asian cast, and explores the tradition and transformation in 1853, when Japan faced an American expedition determined to open the "floating kingdom” to trade. The isolationist island’s reckoning with the unwelcome western influence is brilliantly illuminated through a kaleidoscope of stories about sailors, samurai, “someone in a tree” and two friends who choose radically different paths.
