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...
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....
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.
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...
Pros: Too many to write---read my review! Cons: None!!
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 ...
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.
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...
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...
Pros: Moving, Beautiful music, Sweeps you away... Cons: Adult concepts, not good for children
I am an avid lover of theater and musical theater. The day I saw Miss Saigon I was absolutly hooked! The writers of Les Mis have done it again in this heartbreaking love story of two people from two diffrent worlds during the Vietnam War. The music...
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...
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...
This is a great musical. One of the best among current shows. It is a show with a grand scale. It is a Broadway event. It is majestic. It is magnificent.
The show details the 2 lives of one Vietnam soldier. You get to see him in Vietnam,...
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.
