Is there something more to it? Because it seems like a disgusting premise. This is so bad, even for the usual libcringe of broadway.

Nod. Even if you somehow ignored the racial and political angles, you're still left with a musical about a 'romantic' relationship between a destitute teenage orphan and a man in his twenties who may have helped kill her parents.
Also i take back my 'appropriate for the late 80s' comment, because people were apparently protesting it as far back as its original run.
and you want to know the worst part?
I live in Hawaii
This thing is popular in Hawaii
Do I need to explain which area of the population likes it most? Or how much it relates?
I'm afraid to ask whether you're referring to Asian-Americans or military personnel.
Military personnel dominates the Island, but it is massively popular to asian americans, and even hawaiian americans. America has colonized the place thoroughly. Hawaiians themselves hate it, because Native Hawaiians are the only smart and sane ones on the whole archipelago.
tl:dr the colonizers love this shit
