 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Allegiance is a musical with music and lyrics by Jay Kuo and a book by Marc Acito, Kuo and Lorenzo Thione. It's most famous for involving George Takei, who stars in the original Broadway production, and whose stories of being a child during the WWII Japanese-American interment inspired the play. Its other two leads are Lea Salonga, whose Broadway return broke the Asian-American and Broadway-fan sides of the Internet, and Telly Leung of Glee, Godspell, and RENT. Eight years after the Broadway production closed, the show was revived at the Charing Cross Theatre in London; both Takei and Leung reprised their respective characters.The plot follows the Kimura family in the weeks and years following the attack on Pearl Harbor, as they are forced to leave their farm in Salinas, California and relocated to the Heart Mountain internment camp in rural Wyoming.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Has no affiliation with the TV show, video game, or Star Wars novel of the same name.

 Bilingual Bonus: Most of the Japanese used in the show is also explained, but there are still moments where Japanese is used without translation.

 Audience Surrogate: The presence of white characters is often used to justify explaining some Japanese word or practice that may also be unfamiliar to the audience. In one case, it's the very Americanized Sam who is unfamiliar with a Japanese word. He is promptly chastised for not studying enough.

comment
 Accidental Murder: When Frankie gets into a scuffle with an armed soldier, the latter accidentally fires his gun and unintentionally shoots Hannah, killing her. This combined with his family's apparent siding with Frankie (who by this point is married to Kei) is what pushes Sam to become estranged from his family in the end.
