Miss Saigon is a musical set in the 1975 during the American occupation in Saigon, Vietnam. It centers around the relationship between Kim, a Vietnamese woman, and Chris, an American GI. Many years upon the departure of the American soldiers from Vietnam, Chris, thinking that Kim was dead, married Ellen. However, he was later informed that Kim did not die and has a son: his son. And so he travelled to Bangkok, where Kim fled to, to go on a search for the both of them. Before Chris could find Kim, she found his wife first and was devastated that he is married. Now, as for the ending, you will have to watch it when you get a chance.
Honestly, i don't really think that this musical is superb in terms of its content because it is after all, another love story (maybe with a little twist). But what i love about Miss Saigon is the songs. Some of the songs were sung so beautifully that it just touches me. And yes, i cried. Also, the props used were fantastic and if you're wondering why the brush strokes on the poster advertisement for this musical resembles that of a helicopter, then you have another reason to go for the musical to find out for yourself.
I heard that Miss Saigon came to Malaysia but i guess it was long ago because i cannot remember anything about it in Malaysia at all but if it does head over to our shores for a tour in the future, give it a go.
P.S - Some of the American GIs have fantastic bodies! Haha...and oh, 'The Engineer' will crack you up!

Hi, Lea, yeah, I saw Miss Saigon in London some years back , and I always remember the beginning when the helicopter started whirring in... a real live heli right in the of the stage is spectacular to say the least...and yes ...those well honed GI bods...em emmmm....
Otherwise, storyline is not so new or unique...but it is always the little things that makes it magnificent!
