Streaming Musicals shares a recording of the original Broadway production of Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman's musical Pacific Overtures, which was filmed for Japanese television in 1976, the same year as its too-short run. A mostly Asian cast stars in this tale about the impact of Western culture on Japan starting in 1853, when American ships forced the country to open itself to outside influences. Staged in Kabuki style with men playing women's roles, the show is considered one of Sondheim's most ambitious projects.
