Pacific Overtures is definitely one of the most demanding Stephen Sondheim musicals. The nineth work by this famous composer, it tells the story of the difficult westernisation of the Land of the Rising Sun from the point of view of two Japanese friends.
In 1853, commodore Matthew Perry is appointed by President Fillmore to negotiate a trade deal with Japan. In charge of four steamships, he'll make the resistant Japanese give in. It's set at the beginning of a country and a period of unrest, before the emperor took power and the Meiji era began.
This production of Pacific Overtures is the first show revival in London. Matthew White's production was acclaimed in Tokyo and Osaka. With Pacific Overtures, the Chocolate Menier Factory completes its trilogy of Weidman/Sondheim musicals, which began with Assassins and Road Show.
Pacific Overtures was created in 1976 on Broadway and was performed for the first time in London in 2003. Across all the productions, the play has won 2 Tony Awards and 3 Olivier Awards, proving its artistic quality. It's the Sondheim work which is closest to an opera.

Every venue has been renovated recently with evey seat giving you a good view of the stage. However, the further you are from the stage, the further you are from the magic. The seats marked by a half-coloured circle indicate less good visibility (these seats are often at the back and so you can't see the whole set). We recommend avoiding them when selecting your seats.
We accept most bank cards via our secure payment system (Visa, Mastercard, American Express).
