Right after this, they did the awards for Best Actor in a Musical, and Pryce won, and as he took the mic, he said he wanted to announce his new book, "101 Things To Do With A Used Cadillac."
@Chaserpeach Well, The Engineer is a pretty slimy, sleazy character-- so it isn't really out of place for him to act like that. I know he's supposed to be a kind of villain in this musical, but I can't help but like him and feel sorry for him, even after all of the stuff he does. He's really a victim of circumstance and time.
@Capricaquarius89 yeah I did a bit of research, and read an essay by one of te original cast members (Gigi Van Tranh) who said it was a last minute decision by the director and wasn't supposed to happen at Tony Awards :s
@Chaserpeach - Yeah, no. Nick told Jonathan he wasn't allowed to do it because of the censors. Jonathan made that decision on his own. Gigi Van Tranh is a character in the play, not a member of the cast.
@semelecharter I meant the girl who played Gigi Van Tranh (should have made that clearer), and he did too because it was NOT supposed to happen on the Tony Awards night
@Chaserpeach - Nick was the director of both the London and Broadway productions. He did NOT make the decision to have Jonathan hump the car. Jonathan did that on his own.
There used to be a video of miss saigon on youtube from the tony awards and it was a clips shows of the various actors that played the principal roles. Do you have it?

Anyone else love how they changed the key at 2:54? Did they ever do that in the actual BW Production?

As problematic as it is having a white actor play a half-Asian character...<3 Jonathan Prye.

@lasaboteuse Well, it was HALF-Asian, which many times you can't even tell. Hell, sometimes even I can't, and I'm Korean LoL. Pryce wins.

@Frostmourne79 That, and Jonathan definitely sleazed the character up a lot more than I remember, which just made it perfect.

Once you hump a floating car onstage, on national television you're more or less required to get the Tony

So good, although humping the car that many times overdid it just a bit for me
