VIDEO: ALLEGIANCE's George Takei Saving A Seat For Donald Trump At Every Performance

As reported on BroadwayWorld, last week Allegiance star George Takei has issued a video response to Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump in regards to his comments about restricting Muslim immigration and being undecided about whether or not he would have supported internment camps for Japanese-Americans during World War II.

The actor invited the candidate to come see him in the new Broadway musical that depicts the injustices done by the United States government to some of its citizens, to help him decide.

In a new video, Takei notes that Trump has not taken him up on his offer yet, and expresses concern that 48% of his supporters surveyed would have supported the internment that placed 120,000 people behind barbed wire fences.

Takei challenges Trump to disavow racial and religious profiling and assured him he is saving a seat for him at every performance of Allegiance until he attends.

Takei makes his Broadway debut in the new American musical Allegiance at the Longacre Theatre (220 West 48th Street, opposite Tony and Olivier Award winner Lea Salonga (Miss Saigon, Les Miserables) in her long-awaited return to Broadway, and "Glee" star Telly Leung. Allegiance. The show tells the vibrant and unforgettable story of one family's resilience in the face of seemingly-insurmountable odds, inspired by Takei's real-life experience as a Japanese American during World War II.

ALLEGIANCE illuminates one of American history's lesser known chapters as it tells the story of Samura (Takei), transported back nearly six decades to when his younger self (Leung) and his sister Kei (Salonga) fought to stay connected to their heritage, their family, and themselves after Japanese Americans were wrongfully imprisoned during World War II. An epic story told with great intimacy, Allegiance explores the TIES THAT BIND us, the struggle to persevere, and the overwhelming power of forgiveness and, most especially, love.
