Allegiance - London premiere in 2023

I saw Pippin at Charing Cross, and it is quite intimate. Never saw Allegiance, but the cast recording left me underwhelmed. Might check this out though if I can make it into London during its run.

We saw Titanic at Charring Cross - and it fit well in that space. But, that was mostly a unitary set. I can't recall how Allegiance is staged - but it does have multiple locales for scenes. So, it could be staged well. I'm sure Takei will see that it is staged well.

Hold on: looked at the booking information. For this production, the stage is in the middle of the theatre? So much for a set and projections.... Will be ..... interesting.

This is exciting news as we will be back in London next March. The only thing that could make this even more exciting is if Lea Salonga would be reprising her role but I'm afraid that's too much to hope for as she would certainly have been announced in this initial press release.

I really hope they rework the book and part of the score to make it a little less melodramatic and more emotionally raw and nuanced when it is called for. I bawled a lot during my four visits to the show, but half of the time it was due to the subject matter and circumstances the characters found themselves in, not particularly because of the strength of the writing.

The show wouldn’t have existed without him. There are a lot of reports and interviews about where its concept came from if you don’t mind Googling.
