About the show

Pan Asian Repertory presents the story of Major Gruver, a soldier stationed in Japan during World War II, who falls in love with Hana-Ogi, a Japanese woman. More…

Singing is generally good, and the acting is adequate with a few standouts...The show's backbone, William Luce's book...

"In some ways, the Pan Asian Repertory Theater’s wonderfully choreographed and beautifully designed production could not be better timed...Yet, for all its indirect relevance, there’s something obvious and old-fashioned about 'Sayonara'...I haven’t seen previous productions of this musical, but t...
