href="/wiki/Stephen_Sondheim" title="Stephen Sondheim">Stephen Sondheim</a>, and a book by <a href="/wiki/John_Weidman" title="John Weidman">John Weidman</a>, with "additional material by" <a href="/wiki/Hugh_Wheeler" title="Hugh Wheeler">Hugh Wheeler</a>. </p><p>Set in nineteenth-century Japan, it tells the story of the country's <a href="/wiki/Westernization" title="Westernization">westernization</a> starting in 1853, when American ships forcibly opened it to the rest of the world. The story is told from the point of view of the Japanese, and focuses in particular on the lives of two friends who are caught in the change. </p><p>Sondheim wrote the score in a quasi-Japanese style of parallel 4ths and no <a href="/wiki/Leading-tone" class="mw-redirect" title="Leading-tone">leading-tone</a>. He did not use the <a href="/wiki/Pentatonic_scale" title="Pentatonic scale">pentatonic scale</a>; the 4th degree of the major scale is represented from the opening number through the finale, as Sondheim found just five pitches too limiting. The music contrasts Japanese contemplation ("There Is No Other Way") with Western ingenuousness ("Please Hello") while over the course of the 127 years, Western harmonies, tonality and even lyrics are infused into the score. The score is generally considered to be one of Sondheim's most ambitious and sophisticated efforts.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The original <a href="/wiki/Broadway_theatre" title="Broadway theatre">Broadway</a> production of <i>Pacific Overtures</i> in 1976 was staged in <a href="/wiki/Kabuki" title="Kabuki">Kabuki</a> style, with men playing women's parts and set changes made in full view of the audience by black-clad <a href="/wiki/Stagehand" title="Stagehand">stagehands</a>. It opened to mixed reviews and closed after six months, despite being nominated for ten <a href="/wiki/Tony_Awards" title="Tony Awards">Tony Awards</a>. </p><p>Given its specific casting and production demands, <i>Pacific Overtures</i> remains one of <a href="/wiki/Stephen_Sondheim" title="Stephen Sondheim">Stephen Sondheim</a>'s least-performed musicals. The show is occasionally staged by <a href="/wiki/Opera" title="Opera">opera</a> companies. The cast requires an abundance of male <a href="/wiki/Asian_people" title="Asian people">Asian</a> actors who must play male and female parts. As written, women join the ensemble for only half of the last song; all other principal female roles are played by men, as was traditional in Kabuki theatre.

Since the foreigners were expelled from the island empire, explains the Reciter, elsewhere wars are fought and machines are rumbling, but in Nippon they plant rice, exchange bows and enjoy peace and serenity, and there has been nothing to threaten the changeless cycle of their days ("The Advantages of Floating in the Middle of the Sea"). But President <a href="/wiki/Millard_Fillmore" title="Millard Fillmore">Millard Fillmore</a>, determined to open up trade with Japan, has sent Commodore <a href="/wiki/Matthew_C._Perry" title="Matthew C. Perry">Matthew C. Perry</a> across the Pacific. </p><p>To the consternation of Lord Abe and the Shogun's other Councillors, the stirrings of trouble begin with the appearance of <a href="/wiki/Nakahama_Manjir%C5%8D" title="Nakahama Manjirō">Manjiro</a>, a fisherman who had been lost at sea and rescued by Americans. He has returned to Japan and now attempts to warn the authorities of the approaching warships, but is instead arrested for consorting with foreigners. A minor samurai, Kayama Yezaemon, is appointed Prefect of Police at Uraga to drive the Americans away - news which leaves his wife Tamate grief-stricken, since Kayama will certainly fail and both will then have to commit <i><a href="/wiki/Seppuku" title="Seppuku">seppuku</a></i>. As he leaves, she expresses her feelings in dance as two Observers describe the scene and sing her thoughts and words ("There Is No Other Way"). As a Fisherman, a Thief, and other locals relate the sight of the "Four Black Dragons" roaring through the sea, an extravagant Oriental caricature of the USS Powhatan pulls into harbor. Kayama is sent to meet with the Americans but he is laughed at and rejected as not being important enough. He enlists the aid of Manjiro, the only man in Japan who has dealt with Americans, and disguised as a great lord, Manjiro is able to get an answer from them: Commodore Perry must meet the <a href="/wiki/Shogun" title="Shogun">Shogun</a> within six days or else he will shell the city. Facing this ultimatum, the Shogun refuses to commit himself to an answer and takes to his bed. Exasperated by his indecision and procrastination, his Mother, with elaborate courtesy, <a href="/wiki/Tokugawa_Ieyoshi" title="Tokugawa Ieyoshi">poisons him</a>. ("Chrysanthemum Tea"). </p><p>Kayama devises a plan by which the Americans can be received without technically setting foot on Japanese soil, thanks to a covering of <a href="/wiki/Tatami" title="Tatami">tatami mats</a> and a raised Treaty House, for which he is made Governor of Uraga. He and Manjiro set off for Uraga, forging a bond of friendship through the exchange of "Poems". Kayama has saved Japan, but it is too late to save Tamate: when Kayama arrives at his home, he finds that she is dead, having committed <i><a href="/wiki/Seppuku" title="Seppuku">seppuku</a></i> after having received no news of Kayama for many days. Already events are moving beyond the control of the old order: the two men pass a Madam instructing her inexperienced Oiran girls in the art of seduction as they prepare for the arrival of the foreign devils ("Welcome to Kanagawa"). </p><p>Commodore Perry and his men disembark and, on their "March to the Treaty House", demonstrate their goodwill by offering such gifts as two bags of Irish potatoes and a copy of Owen's "Geology of Minnesota". The negotiations themselves are observed through the memories of three who were there: a warrior hidden beneath the floor of the Treaty House who could hear the debates, a young boy who could see the action from his perch in the tree outside, and the boy as an old man recalling that without "Someone In a Tree", a silent watcher, history is incomplete. Initially, it seems as if Kayama has won; the Americans depart in peace. But the barbarian figure of Commodore Perry leaps out to perform a traditional Kabuki "Lion Dance", which ends as a strutting, triumphalist, all-American <a href="/wiki/Cakewalk" title="Cakewalk">cakewalk</a>. </p> <dl><dt>Act II</dt></dl> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Emperor_Meiji" title="Emperor Meiji">child emperor</a> (portrayed by a puppet manipulated by his advisors) reacts with pleasure to the departure of the Americans, promoting Lord Abe to Shogun, confirming Kayama as Governor of Uraga and raising Manjiro to the rank of Samurai. The crisis appears to have passed, but to the displeasure of Lord Abe the Americans return to request formal trading arrangements. To the tune of a <a href="/wiki/John_Philip_Sousa" title="John Philip Sousa">Sousa</a> march, an American ambassador bids "Please Hello" to Japan and is followed by a <a href="/wiki/W.S._Gilbert" class="mw-redirect" title="W.S. Gilbert">Gilbertian</a> British ambassador, a clog-dancing Dutchman, a gloomy Russian and a dandified Frenchman all <a href="/wiki/Unequal_treaty#Imposed_on_Japan" class="mw-redirect" title="Unequal treaty">vying for access to Japan's markets</a>. With the appearance of this new group of westerners, the faction of the Lords of the South grow restless. They send a politically charged gift to the Emperor, a storyteller who tells a vivid, allegorical tale of a brave young emperor who frees himself from his cowardly Shogun. </p><p>Fifteen years pass as Kayama and Manjiro dress themselves for tea. As Manjiro continues to dress in traditional robes for the <a href="/wiki/Tea_ceremony" class="mw-redirect" title="Tea ceremony">tea ceremony</a>, Kayama gradually adopts the manners, culture and dress of the newcomers, proudly displaying a new pocket watch, cutaway coat and "A Bowler Hat". Although Kayama, as stated in his reports to the Shogun, manages to reach an "understanding" with the Western merchants and diplomats, tensions abound between the Japanese and the "barbarians". Three British sailors on shore leave mistake the daughter of a samurai for a <a href="/wiki/Geisha" title="Geisha">geisha</a> ("Pretty Lady"). Though their approach is initially gentle, they grow more persistent to the point where they offer her money; the girl cries for help and her father kills one of the confused sailors. Kayama and Abe travel to the Emperor's court discussing the situation. While on the road, their party is attacked by cloaked assassins sent by the Lords of the South and Abe is assassinated. Kayama is horrified to discover that one of the assassins is his former friend, Manjiro; they fight and Kayama is killed. </p><p>In the ensuing turmoil, the puppet Emperor seizes real power and vows that Japan will modernize itself. As the country moves from one innovation to the "Next!", the Imperial robes are removed layer by layer to show the Reciter in modern dress. Contemporary Japan - the country of Toyota, Seiko, air and water pollution and market domination - assembles itself around him and its accomplishments are extolled. "Nippon. The Floating Kingdom. There was a time when foreigners were not welcome here. But that was long ago..." says the Reciter. "Welcome to Japan." </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Original_Broadway_cast_—_characters"><span id="Original_Broadway_cast_.E2.80.94_characters"></span>Original Broadway cast — characters</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Pacific_Overtures&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Original Broadway cast — characters"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Mako_Iwamatsu" class="mw-redirect" title="Mako Iwamatsu">Mako</a> — Reciter, Shogun, <a href="/wiki/Jonathan_Goble" title="Jonathan Goble">Jonathan Goble</a>, Emperor Meiji</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Soon-Tek_Oh" class="mw-redirect" title="Soon-Tek Oh">Soon-Tek Oh</a> — Tamate, Samurai, Storyteller, Swordsman</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Isao_Sato_(actor)" title="Isao Sato (actor)">Isao Sato</a> — Kayama</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Yuki_Shimoda" title="Yuki Shimoda">Yuki Shimoda</a> — Lord Abe</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Sab_Shimono" title="Sab Shimono">Sab Shimono</a> — Manjiro</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ernest_Abuba" title="Ernest Abuba">Ernest Abuba</a> — Samurai, Adams, Noble</li> <li>James Dybas — Councillor, Old Man, French Admiral</li> <li>Timm Fujii — Son, Priest, Kanagawa Girl, Noble, British Sailor</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Haruki_Fujimoto" title="Haruki Fujimoto">Haruki Fujimoto</a> — Servant, <a href="/wiki/Matthew_C._Perry" title="Matthew C.

Mr. Sondheim is the most remarkable man in the Broadway musical today—and here he shows it victoriously...Mr. Prince's staging uses all the familiar Kabuki tricks—often with voices screeching in the air like lonely sea birds—and stylizations with screens and things, and stagehands all masked in black to make them invisible to the audience. Like choreography, the direction is designed to meld Kabuki with Western forms...the attempt is so bold and the achievement so fascinating, that its obvious faults demand to be overlooked. It tries to soar—sometimes it only floats, sometimes it actually sinks—but it tries to soar. And the music and lyrics are as pretty and as well-formed as a bonsai tree. "Pacific Overtures" is very, very different."<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Walter_Kerr" title="Walter Kerr">Walter Kerr</a>'s article in <i>The New York Times</i> on the original 1976 production said "But no amount of performing, or of incidental charm, can salvage 'Pacific Overtures.'

It's a shotgun marriage, to be sure - with results that are variously sophisticated and simplistic, beautiful and vulgar. But if <i>Pacific Overtures</i> is never going to be anyone's favorite Sondheim musical, it is a far more forceful and enjoyable evening at the Promenade than it was eight years ago at the Winter Garden...Many of the songs are brilliant, self-contained playlets. In <i>Four Black Dragons</i> various peasants describe the arrival of the American ships with escalating panic, until finally the nightmarish event does seem to be, as claimed, <i>the end of the world.</i>...<i>Someone in a Tree,</i> is a compact <i><a href="/wiki/Rashomon" title="Rashomon">Rashomon</a></i> - and as fine as anything Mr. Sondheim has written...The single Act II triumph, <i>Bowler Hat,</i> could well be a <a href="/wiki/V._S._Naipaul" title="V.

The show's sets, costumes and governing concept remain more or less the same. Yet unlike the New National Theater of Tokyo production, which was remarkable for its conviction and cohesiveness, this latest incarnation from the Roundabout Theater Company has the bleary, disoriented quality of someone suffering from jet lag after a sleepless trans-Pacific flight. Something has definitely been lost in the retranslation." Of the cast, Brantley wrote, "Even as they sing sweetly and smile engagingly, they appear to be asking themselves, "What am I doing here?""<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Awards_and_nominations">Awards and nominations</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Pacific_Overtures&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Awards and nominations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Original_Broadway_production">Original Broadway production</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Pacific_Overtures&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Original Broadway production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <table class="wikitable" width="95%"> <tbody><tr> <th width="5%">Year </th> <th width="20%">Award </th> <th width="45%">Category </th> <th width="20%">Nominee </th> <th width="10%">Result </th></tr> <tr> <td rowspan="18" align="center">1976 </td> <td rowspan="10"><a href="/wiki/Tony_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="Tony Award">Tony Award</a> </td> <td colspan="2"><a href="/wiki/Tony_Award_for_Best_Musical" title="Tony Award for Best Musical">Best Musical</a> </td> <td style="background: #FFE3E3;
