Found it on Youtube😁

I first heard the soundtrack of Pacific Overtures while overseas in 1977. We fell in love with it, the songs were so engaging and different. Had the soundtrack on a reel to reel which got retired years ago. Then we found a CD of the same original soundtrack some years back and revisited the music. Still so good, and fun.

Then we found the TV taping of a 1976 production with the original cast on Youtube. Wow, now we can experience the whole show and although longish it was delightful to actually see the actors and action.
