Tickets for Allegiance starring George Takei are available now!! 

Legendary TV and film star George Takei brings his critically lauded and award winning broadway musical Allegiance to London’s Charing Cross Theatre. Allegiance tickets will be available to book through London Theatre Direct soon. Join our mailing list for updates!

Allegiance is a story of hope and despair, inspired by true events 

Over six decades ago, Takei and his family were ripped from their native California and sent to live within a guarded and bared-wire enclosed interment camp, along with 120,000 other Japanese Americans. In the swamps of Arkansas, Takei sought refuge in a fight for freedom, love and connection, and most importantly in the battle to remain grounded throughout a period of time of war, opression and chaos. Allegiance recounts his journey in the present day, through the character of Sam Kimura. 

The cast and creatives of Allegiance 

George Takei makes his UK stage debut in the West End transfer of Allegiance. The film and TV star reprises his role in the award-winning show based on the true story of his life.

US actor and broadway star Telly Leung (Glee, Aladdin) will act alongside Takei, with book by Marc Acito, Jay Kuo and Lorenzo Thione. The UK production features musical supervision and orchestrations by Andrew Hilton and Charlie Ingles, lighting design by Nic Farman, sound design by Chris Whybrow, and casting by Sarah Leung.

For the UK production, renowned director Tara Overfield Wilkinson (Little Shop of Horrors) has created an intimate production of Allegiance that was designed exclusively for the Off West End Charing Cross Theatre.

George Takei history 

Takei is no stranger to the screen, having won multiple awards and critical acclaim for his portrayal of ‘Sulu’ in Star Trek and his acting in subsequent roles. He is a proponent of activism for the LGBTQ community and is also a fighter for immigrant rights. His journey from escaping war-torn oppression to rising as a prominent public icon has paved the way for his leading-edge recount of his days spent in confinement.

Absolutely heartbreaking show, I loved it.

Kimberlee Lofink

This was an absolutely amazing experience. Truly a once in a lifetime. I am an avid theater fan, but the intimacy of the setting, and the power of the show combined for a most memorable evening.

Mrs Barbara Colson

A wonderful experience, I'd not been to Charing Cross theatre before, the setting for this moving production. You could feel the frustration of the young men grow as they were denied their freedom to fight for the USA and their families being held hostage. Very moving

Kris

A really great and touching show, extremely well done with stunning vocal performances throughout

Paul Watson

Excellent show, great performance, highly recommended.

Stephen Cooper

Wonderful adaptation of an important story, full of energy from the opening sequence and utterly engaging to the very end. Perfectly sized intimate venue and superb music from a very compact orchestra. Thoroughly recommended…..

Peter Wood

Bright and vibrant musical about a difficult subject. Well worth seeing. Peter

Carla Sommers

A brilliant play - totally ruined by an interminable and suffocating fog machine and lack of proper extractor ventilation. I travelled 3 hours to see it. I'm an asthmatic and was so violently ill my friend and I left the second the interval was called, having already suffered an excruciating 90 minutes of respiratory hell. Due to a split stage I was unable to exit without walking across the stage. Appalling lack of warning of such overpowering fogging effects and totally careless theatre management. NOT SAFE FOR ANYONE WITH RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS.

Michele Dawn Park

A wonderful story! Our reluctant 13 y.o. even enjoyed it! Fantastic singers, top-notch choreography, and a cozy venue made this a heartwarming evening for our family.

Alison smyth

Great venue, was comfortable and seated at the back could still see everything. Brilliant performance and show, acting, choreography and songs. So moving, lived up to everything we expected and had seen leading up to the show. First class and we came away more educated about the history that inspired the story.

Laurence Nicholas

Emma
