About
The Floating Kingdom. Japan, 1853. The arrival of Commodore
Perry's fleet launches this spectacular musical, a visually
stunning masterpiece that mingles elements of traditional
Japanese theatre with the dazzle of Broadway at its most
inventive. With haunting songs and astonishing theatricality,
one of the theatre's greatest composers chronicles the Westernization of an island undisturbed for centuries. "An exquisite,
enchanting and remarkable work of theatre." -New York Post
This highly-praised production, performed in Japanese with English subtitles, by the New National Theatre of Japan, directed by renowned Japanese director Amon Miyamoto.
