PACIFIC OVERTURES to be revived by Osaka & Menier Chocolate Factory

Stephen Sondheim’s Pacific Overtures is set for a London revival, coming to the Menier Chocolate Factory, it has been revealed.

The new revival is to be presented as a co-production between Japan and the UK.

After running in Tokyo/Osaka in early 2023, it is intended to transfer to the Menier Chocolate Factory. Dates for the London run are to be announced at a later date.

Interesting as I've read reports that Menier lost the lease to its space as the building is being converted to a residential tower. Perhaps that got resolved or they will play in a rental space or a new home?

For a production that only ran six months, 17 times is….something.

Wonder if this is going to be based on the 90-minute 2017 revival or the original production.

The artwork is beautiful. Happy to catch this as I missed the recent off Broadway revival (my own fault, I was too fatigued from seeing so much theatre).
