“Star Trek” icon and outspoken lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights advocate George Takei is Broadway-bound.
The 77-year-old star will make his debut on the Great White Way in “Allegiance,” a musical about Japanese Americans imprisoned during World War II, the Associated Press reported.

The San Diego run of “Allegiance” also starred Tony Award winner Lea Salonga (“Miss Saigon”) and Telly Leung, best known for his stints on “Glee” and Broadway’s “Godspell.” No official word on if Salonga and Leung will reprise their roles in New York, but Takei told the AP “we are working to recreate that.”
