In 1999, M. Jun Tuason while working on the German Production of Miss Saigon produced a concert named aptly, "The Reason We Sing." The show's success was all due to the fact that it was not a routine showcase of song and dance, but one that has a poignant message: "if we don't sing but rather keep silent, the rocks will cry out.' The audience was left astounded. He is continuing on this trend in Los Angeles.
