'Pacific Overtures'

East West Players just extended the run of Pacific Overtures through Dec. 8, so you have a few more chances to catch the Sondheim musical at the Asian-American theater company’s home stage in Little Tokyo. The vintage 1976 show may not be Sondheim’s most well-known, but the musical, about Japan's westernization following a period of isolationism, was the first to play at East West Players back in 1979.

This iteration features well-reviewed performances from West End vet Jon Jon Briones (The Reciter) and Gedde Watanabe. On Monday’s Anime Night, attendees dressed in cosplay will get a free drink and enjoy a photo opportunity on the red carpet.
