Performing in the musical was a cast from Okinawa, supplemented by local performers from the Okinawa-American community of Los Angeles. A special added attraction to the performance was the appearance by Hollywood star George Takei as General MacArthur. Transforming Mr. Takei to General MacArthur was Emmy Award winning markup artist Mrs. Kaori Nara Turner. Also participating in the production were actress Tamlyn Tomita and vocal artist Ayako Kawana.
This story is one of compassion and sacrifice and provided the audience a clear understanding and appreciation for those Americans and Okinawans who established a proud legacy of humanitarian service. The musical format also served, as United States Consul General to Okinawa, Thomas Reich wrote, as "an excellent vehicle of introducing the song and dance of Okinawa" to the audience.
