Going for Broke: The Story of Allegiance the Musical

Allegiance was a story that almost never got told.

Born from a deeply personal chapter of American history, the musical faced years of uncertainty, rewrites, rejections, and the constant question of whether audiences were ready to see a musical about the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War 2.

Going for Broke The Story of Allegiance takes you inside that journey, tracing the path from first spark to final curtain, and revealing the artists who refused to give up along the way.
