It makes me really happy that "amazing" is the tags. :) These two girls really are incredibly talented. And this was three years ago! They are even better now! Pearce really is so proud of them both. <3
SHE should audition for the MOVIE.. Articles say "they're" looking for a girl to play Kim that can keep up with Mrs. Lea Salonga's vocals. I think SHE actually could. :)
@TheatreGuy141 - I have no idea what you're talking about. The gal playing Kim was absolutely equal to the girl playing Ellen. Neither of them is a polished actress, but their voices are equally strong. In fact I'm not sure why Ellen kept turning the word "I" into two syllables, or why her vocal coach didn't correct it. Tough to listen to.
@semelecharter I agree with you about the voices both are really good. Elizabeth Judd who plays Kim on here, played Wendla in the recent national tour of Spring Awakening. In my opinion Elizabeth showed more emotion in her singing here.
Just as well done as the Broadway production.. Truly amazing.. This is one of my favorite scenes from the show... Kudos to all involved and thanks again to Sam for posting this and all the other scenes!
this is favorite song. THey both have such beautiful voices. It gave me goosebumps! i heard the girl who plays Ellen went to Interlochen too! Congrats
i have seen the Manila production,, the most expensive production of Miss Saigon,...its fantastic,,,, but for a high school to do such brilliant production,,, it was great , i cant believe they are high school,,, no comparison on the broadway/london/manila production,,, very impressive for High school level...
What nationality is your Kim? Like the amazing super talented actress? haha And SamTSchweikert were you in the play? Were you Chris I'm trying to figure it out from your tiny proflie pic.
lea and claire (who are amazing singers, by the way) say beh-lieve. i guess beeeee-lieve would sound weird but if you hear someone really say buhh-lieve it sounds really bad.
that girl playing Kim definitely has a future in broadway (all the main vocals actually) or something along that line. what a voice! ellen also is wonderful. just amazing!
The voices are lovely, but I don't think they understand the true meaning of this song. It is a very strong song between 2 girls in love with the same man at different times ( but apart) one doesn't know where her love is, and the other doesn't know why her love is dreaming what he does, and 'doesn't know why he is dreaming the way he does. But lovely voices.
This would have been absolutely GORGEOUS if the orchestra was in tune. You can tell the singers are very talented because they kept the right pitch while the violins disagreed by up to a half step sharp or flat, depending.
this one did justice to the original version, especially the one playing Kim...but it's just tragic to believe in something that's doomed from the start.
Although the young lady on this video was pretty good playing as Kim and showed very great potential, Lea Salonga is still considered the original and best Kim ever, having won the Tony, Laurence Olivier, Drama Deak, Outer Critics Circle, and Theatre World Awards for the same role that she was born to play. The Miss Saigon performances here were excellent for a high school production and the girl who played Kim reminds me so much of Lea 20 years ago.
really really astonishing... i think this is really great for a high school... the only thing that's only 95% perfect are the violins.. but who cares... thumbs up !
Both of the girls did a fantastic job. If this is what they are doing in high school, I can't wait to see what they will do on Broadway.I have two granddaughters who are making carreers in the music industry, so I know enough to be a fair critic. Good luck to both and a happy successful career.
Wow what a performance, i typed this song in as it is my favourite song from my favourite show, and must admit was a little dubious when i realised was a school production. But as i said WOW! I saw the original London production over 15 times including both shows on the last day, and your performances were excellent, hope you go into musical theatre, love to see you on stage one day
