STAGE TUBE: Iain Loves Theatre Sings 'Higher' From ALLEGIANCE

Looks like Broadway's pint-sized Ambassador of Love, known to the Schmackary's gang as Iain Loves Theatre, is fully psyched for the fall season to begin.

If he's not yet singing his praises of the upcoming musical, ALLEGIANCE, he's a least singing one of the score's big numbers, "Higher." Seems like the producers can bank in a rave review from this swell guy.

Inspired by George Takei's true-life experience, Allegiance follows one family's experience amid 120,000 Japanese Americans sent to U.S. internment camps during World War II. A mysterious envelope leads Sam Kimura (played by Takei) back 60 years to a time when he (played as a young man by Leung) and his sister Kei (Tony Award-winner Salonga) strive to save their family from the wrongful imprisonment. Sam enlists in the army to prove the Kimuras' loyalty, but Kei joins draft resisters fighting for the rights of their people. Their paths take them from the lush farmlands of California to the wastelands of Wyoming to the battlefields of Europe, and their divided loyalties threaten to tear them apart forever. But as long-lost memories are unlocked, Sam finds that it is never too late to forgive and to recognize the redemptive power of love.
