Pacific Overtures

The best musical set in Japan that also happens to be written by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine, two white guys. Telling the story of Commodore Matthew Calrage Perrys 1853 expedition to un-Tokugawa Japan, the show is told from the perspective of Japan with the original production (and many others) taking direct inspiration from the Japanese art of Kabuki theatre. According to Sondheim, his favorite piece written by him is "Someone In A Tree" from Pacific Overtures. A true masterpiece of music.
Pacific Overtures Fan: Hey, are you familiar with Pacific Overtures?
Theatre Person: No, I hate that show.
Pacific Overtures Fan: Okay, I want to scream at you right now and kill you with the tree from Someone In A Tree but I won't because I know that I am the singular fan of Pacific Overtures, have a good day.

Pacific time

An advantage for West Coast teams in basketball over East Coast teams, since basketball games are usually played later in the day than football games. It is especially an advantage on weeknights and the night before a work week begins (Sunday night). Playing a home game is at a regular time for a West Coast team, while it's running from 10 to after midnight for a team from the East, a time when most of the audience is asleep or has their back turned to a TV.
Pacific time wins games. It's not something a team from the West Coast has to fight against, it helps them out. It works for them, not against. The other teams from every other time zone are always on their time no matter what.
