Saigon had me sighing

by cracker24 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jun 16 '00
Pros: Wonderful special effects, great music, fabulous acting and costumes
Cons: ticket prices are a bit high and hard to get
I absolutely love this play! I can't begin to say enough about it!

I went to New York with my high school drama club, and this
was a play I had heard a great deal about, and was eager to
see. In addition, I had listened to most of...

War, What is it Good For?

by disinclined Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 22 '03
Pros: Gorgeous set design, satisfyingly tear-jerking plot.
Cons: Occasionally tips over into cheesy, overdone moralizing.
Plot Details: This review contains vast and all-encompassing plot details.

Our current administration thinks war is a pretty good solution to international woes - and maybe it is, in a nation that glorifies war and calls every soldier a hero....

Powerful reminder of Vietnam.

by Amana97 , Dec 10 '99
Pros: Powerful stage adaptation, entertaining
Cons: Realities of war
I love Broadway. I love the music, the sets, the costumes, the talent. And I loved Miss Saigon. I recommend it to adult viewers without reservation.

I never imagined this show would be so powerful. As a child of the 60s, I did my best to...

The musical that ROCKS

by Nicola_Rio , Oct 11 '00
Pros: A unique experience; a musical unlike the rest
Cons: not for kids, some nudity
The storyline is nothing original, but the way in which it is brought to life makes it a whole new experience in itself. Miss Saigon is moving, soulful, expressive, dynamic, exotic, interesting, and different from all other musicals.

Scene without connection

by energy81 , Mar 30 '00
Pros: set pieces and staging, few strongly emotional songs
Cons: characters, somewhat repetitive
I can see why Miss Saigon is the huge success it is, what with plenty of melodrama to keep your heart wrenched and vibrant scenery to keep your eyes occupied (after all it’s pretty impressive to fly a helicopter onto the stage), but on the whole it just...

Latest Australian production of Miss Saigon is a Theatrical Masterpiece!!

by josiepost , Nov 02 '07
Pros: Too many to write---read my review!

The latest production of Miss Saigon is a theatrical masterpiece. Opening in March at Melbourne’s Her Majesty’s Theatre, Boublil and Schonberg’s heart wrenching epic love story had the audience constantly on edge. Unlike previous productions of Miss ...

Curtain Call not long enough to dry my eyes!

by cgjerome Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 09 '00
Pros: great staging, dramatic music, engaging plot, some great "special effects"
Cons: can be confusing, hard to see from balcony
I'd been listening to the soundtrack for a while when I finally got to see Miss Saigon on Broadway. So I knew how it ended. But even that wasn't enough to prepare me for the amount of emotion I felt throughout the show that night.

Not appropriate for children!

by sgentile Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 26 '99
Pros: Talented vocals
Cons: Sends wrong messages for kids
This play celebrates the love affair between a soldier and a Vietnamese woman. If these were the only facts, the entire play would have unfolded differently for me. But I still would not advise that children be brought to this one. The soldier who...

A Musical Definitely Still Worth Seeing

by klgarner , Jan 07 '00
Pros: Haunting Melodies, Wonderful Acting
Cons: None
I recently went to see Miss Saigon for the first time, and was thrilled by the beautiful songs and haunting vocals. Even though it's been around for years, I did not know the plot and was stunned by the ending. I left the theatre with tears streaming...

Miss Saigon - has only improved with age!

by jprothn , Aug 03 '00
Pros: wonderful cast, scenery is spectacular - can never get over the flying helicopter
Cons: Has changed since the original production - but for the better
I was extremely lucky to have seen Miss Saigon at the Broadway Theater, the year it opened, in 1991. The cast back then was unbelievable - Lea Salonga was Kim, and her beautiful voice still rings in my ears. Even better, Jonothan Price was the...

Miss Saigon

by Kawhi , May 08 '00
Pros: musical score, stage props
Cons: neglecting to acknowledge "marriage" of Kim and Chris-but this shows a definite truth in how this was often handled
Vietnam is merely a backdrop for this magnificent, well told story of two lovers battling the pressures of the world and grasping for the love they found during the last days before the fall of Saigon. Miss Saigon is a wonderful yet tragic musical...

Love and Abandonment in Wartime

by dogsmom , Aug 06 '00
Pros: Haunting Love Story
Cons: Very sad
I’ve seen MISS SAIGON 3 times. The first time was in New York, opening week, with the original cast, including Lea Salonga as Kim and Jonathan Pryce as The Engineer. I also saw it in London and Boston.

The story has been told many times. It’s...
