      Why is 'Pacific Overtures' not being revived?
      "Pacific Overtures" hasn't often been revived since its first run on Broadway in 1976, said Clive Davis in The Times. That may be because, even by Stephen Sondheim's standards, the subject matter is singular: written in 1976, it is about how the US forced hermetic, shogunate Japan to open up to commerce from 1853.

      Is Stephen Sondheim reviving a 'Sondheim musical'?
      This is the Stephen Sondheim musical I least expected to see revived, let alone as nimbly as in this thrilling co-production between the Menier and Osaka’s Umeda Arts Theater. Written in 1976 with a book by John Weidman, it tells how the US forced hermetic, shogunate Japan to open up to commerce in 1853.
