Miss Saigon is one of the best ever written Broadway musical for me,I was so inspired of how well they have written the songs and most of all the actors who portrayed this award-winning musical.

Advantages: good voice, good cast
Disadvantages: none

The 1991 Broadway musicale Miss Saigon is a masterpiece. I memorized the lyrics of the song even when I was younger. I even watched the musicale on Broadway and it was the best. My favorite song is I'd Give My Life To You wherein Kim was singing to his son. The song touched me, though I did not have a son yet at that time. I felt the love she had and her longing of a better life for his son. The Engineer also added great voice to the soundtrack. ...

Advantages great voices can imagine being there
Disadvantages some songs are cut short

...anger. The voice of Johnathan Pryce adds to the humorus element of his character 'The Engineer'. It is a double cd and has all of the songs some of which are cut short for the cd. The cover has the original Miss Saigon logo. I just love the artwork on this the way the helicopter is against the sunset and a bit of it portrays a woman's face. I would reccomend this to anyone who likes musicals and powerful storylines that are not always with happy endings.... Read review

...I live near the Palace theatre – so near, in fact, that you can see the immense clock tower from my kitchen. In the middle of the night, when the rest of that area of the city is plunged into darkness, I can usually find my way home by aiming for the bright, shining red letters that spell out its name. In short, it’s my local theatre when I’m in Manchester. At the moment, Miss Saigon is showing there about 8 times a week (6 x evenings and 2 matinees). It’s been on since last November, and will continue to show until June, and I saw it for the first time last weekend. Not the first time here, you understand, but the first time ever. I’ve seen a lot of musicals in my time, and danced a handful or so, but Miss Saigon has never appeared in that list. The most I know is one song a friend had for her song... Read review

Advantages Most spectacular production around the world
Disadvantages The UK tour has already ended but there might be possible future shows

...THERE ARE SO MANY POSITIVE REVIEWS and documented reports about the musical - from West End to Broadway and Down Under acclaiming that Miss Saigon is one of the best productions ever shown around the world! After reading reviews available on-line, I was inspired to write my own review considering that I was able to watch the play for 3 times: April 1997 (New York, USA), October 2000 (Manila, Philippines) and October 2005 (Belfast, Northern Ireland). With no doubt, each review has its own merit of telling us why Miss Saigon is highly recommended play to watch. Having that, so what is the reason why that I have to give another review about the play? Firstly, I watched it in different locations and each location has different ways of doing it which is influence by the size of the venue where the play will be shown; and thus, each... Read review
