James A Michener's Sayonara

The classic tale recounts the haunting love story of jet pilot hero Major Ace Gruver and exotic Japanese actress Hana ogi, star of Japan's all female Takarazuka Theatre, whose forbidden passion grows against a lush backdrop of Oriental tradition, soaring melodies and lavish production numbers

Mesmerizing, moving and entertaining, this is the first Michener musical since South Pacific
