That well known play mentioned Saigon's woman - Vietnamese, but in fact it has never been played in Saigon - my home town where i live. I wonder Y ??? And mostly the young generation in my country dont even know about the existing of that play but my lecturer - a phillipinese - she does.
@aslongasyouloveme269 has it ever occurred to you that it is probably not allowed to run there? you realize that the show is semi- anticommunist? The show does not focus on that, but it's quite obvious that communism isn't shown in a good light. Saigon isn't even called that anymore. And most people don't know the existence of this musical because the Viet community at large is not very aware of theatre at all. And btw. It's Filipino, not phillipinese.
Lea Salonga was the discovery of the decade for Broadway in this show. Beautiful voice, beautiful face too.
Jonathan Pryce - that little twirl he started the song with says it all! Sondheim always said he'd rather have an actor who can sing than a singer who can act. Pryce just sells it on pure charisma.
I saw this in 1991 - strange because I loved the music, the singers, but the show was overblown. I also hate the Chris character - he seemed then and now to be a real selfish jerk.
Wow........this is incredible! Thanks so much!
