Musician and producer Miyamoto Amon (45) is to take his musical production of “Pacific Overtures” to Broadway next autumn. The story takes a look at an enclosed 19th-century Japanese society on the point of change with the arrival of US Admiral Perry’s so-called ‘Black Ships’ and his attempt to open up trade. The show first appeared on Broadway in 1976 and Miyamoto did a Japanese version in Tokyo three years ago which received great praise from the original composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim. His new English version is set to play at Studio 54, where “Cabaret” is currently enjoying a successful long run.
