Allegiance is a musical with music and lyrics by Jay Kuo and a book by Marc Acito, Kuo and Lorenzo Thione. The story, set during the Japanese American internment of World War II (with a framing story set in the present day), was inspired by the personal experiences of George Takei, who starred in the musical. It follows the Kimura family in the years following the attack on Pearl Harbor, as they are forced to leave their farm in Salinas, California, and are sent to the Heart Mountain Relocation Center in the rural plains of Wyoming.
The musical began development in 2008 and premiered in September 2012 in San Diego, California. It played on Broadway from October 2015 to February 2016. Reviews on Broadway were mixed, although the cast was generally praised. Further productions were mounted in Los Angeles in 2018 and London in 2023.
Takei reprised his roles for the musical's Los Angeles production at the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center, co-produced by East West Players (EWP), for a run from February 21 to April 1, 2018.
Takei was joined by five actors from the original Broadway cast in the production, with direction by EWP's artistic director Snehal Desai and choreography by Rumi Oyama. The producers created an interactive study guide about Japanese internment during World War II for educators and students.
The musical received an Off West End production at the Charing Cross Theatre in London from January 7 to April 8, 2023, with Takei and Leung reprising their roles. It was directed and choreographed by Tara Overfield Wilkinson, with Aynrand Ferrer as Kei and Masashi Fujimoto as Tatsuo.
