Pacific Rim Video’s “That’s So Hollywood” correspondent Kristina Nikols talks to actor Gede Watanabe during the opening night premiere of the East West Players and Japanese American Cultural and Community Center production of “Allegiance” held at the Aratani Theatre in LIttle Tokyo, Downtown Los Angeles on February 28, 2018.
Inspired by true events, the Broadway musical Allegiance is the story of the Kimura family, whose lives are upended when they and 120,000 other Japanese Americans are forced to leave their homes following the events of Pearl Harbor. An uplifting testament to the power of the human spirit, Allegiance follows the Kimuras as they fight between duty and defiance, custom and change, family bonds and forbidden loves.
The play runs until April 1, 2018. For ticket information visit http://www.eastwestplayers.org/news/allegiance/
