MISS SAIGON TICKETS 2024

All You Need To Know About Miss Saigon

"Miss Saigon," a stage musical by Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil, based on Puccini's "Madama Butterfly," relocates the tragic romance to 1970s Saigon during the Vietnam War. Premiering in London in 1989 and later on Broadway in 1991, it became a major success, setting records for advance ticket sales and enjoying numerous productions worldwide. As of October 2022, it stands as Broadway's fourteenth longest-running show, following the duo's previous hit, "Les Misérables," in 1985.

The musical Miss Saigon draws its inspiration from a poignant photograph discovered by Schönberg, depicting a Vietnamese mother leaving her child at Tan Son Nhut Air Base to seek a better life in the United States. This act of sacrifice forms a central theme in the storyline. Notable scenes in the musical include the dramatic evacuation of Americans from the Saigon Embassy rooftop, the triumphal parade of the communist regime, and the chaotic nightclub scene during the city's fall.

The Battle of ‘Miss Saigon’: The Best Yellowface, Art and Opportunity

1. The Beginning: ‘A Very Dangerous’ Idea- Composer Claude-Michel Schönberg, amid composing "Les Misérables" in Paris, was deeply affected by a magazine photo of a Vietnamese mother at an airport, deciding to send her daughter to the US for a better life. Drawing parallels to "Madama Butterfly," Schönberg suggested to collaborator Alain Boublil adapting a similar story set during the Vietnam War's end.

2. The Yellowface Problem- Impressed by Jonathan Pryce's performances and his interest in playing the Phantom in "The Phantom of the Opera," I suggested him for the role during discussions in London with the authors and director Nick Hytner. Pryce became the sole candidate for the role and was selected without further auditions.

3. The Discovery of a Young Talent- Lea Salonga, who portrayed Kim in the original London and Broadway productions, reminisced about her initial concerns while playing the role. Despite feeling innocent and unfamiliar with the term "bargirl," her father reassured her that audiences would remember her performance's emotional depth rather than the skimpy costumes.
