Why see Miss Saigon?
The stunning epic from the minds behind Les Miserables
The Broadway musical that stole the hearts of a nation, Miss Saigon is back to stun this year. Written by Claude-Michel Schonberg and Alain Boublil and based on Puccini's famous opera Madame Butterly, Miss Saigon is a triumphant production that tells the story of heartache and anguish of forbidden love during the Vietnamese war.
What is the story?
Set in the final days of the Vietnam War, Miss Saigon charts the burgeoning romance of an American GI, Chris, and a vulnerable local girl, Kim, who works in a steamy Saigon go-go bar. From the moment they meet, Chris is immediately drawn to her, determined to protect her from the horror surrounding them.
After spending the night together, Chris and Kim realize they cannot ignore how strongly they both feel and pledge their love to each other. However, not even their love is enough to keep the Vietnam war at bay forever, and when Saigon falls, Chris is forced to flee the country. Kim awaits Chris' return for years - but he has since found a new wife back in America. Will Chris return to Kim, or abandon the life they created to the mercy of the Vietcong?

acting was phenomenal. Scenery and
use of technology was spectacular.
Wish seats were a little wider.
Unfortunately we aren't all a size 10. ... Read more

Miss Saigon
I've seen the production twice in New York and once in Philly. Loved it and will see it
again. Great musical score and stage production. A child would have a difficult time
following the story line. Whether you catch a matinee or evening show, don't forget to
include a stop in one of Philly's great restaurants. You can't go wrong. ... Read more
