The annual summer Broadway in Bryant Park series features performances Thursday afternoons at 12:30 from several current and upcoming Broadway musicals, and August 6 has a real treat in store, a sneak peek at Allegiance, which tells the story of George Takei’s childhood, spent in part in a Japanese internment camp in California; the show begins previews on October 6 and stars Lea Salonga, Telly Leung, and social media sensation Takei. Also on the August 6 bill is the Tony-winning hit A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder, the new Amazing Grace, the Shakespeare spoof Something Rotten!, and the off-Broadway revival of Ruthless! The series concludes August 13 with selections from Once Upon a Mattress, The King and I, Dames at Sea, Spring Awakening, and Mrs. Smith’s Broadway Cat-Tacular!
