Summary

The internment of Japanese Americans across the U.S. during World War II is not an obvious subject on which to develop a musical, however it is exactly what George Takei, Star Trek legend and social media icon has done.

Tickets for ‘George Takei’s Allegiance’ are available now until Saturday 8 April.
