Michelle Martin thinks Miss Saigon is an unmissable experience for any fan of musicals. With a cast that reflects Asia’s diversity, this production is a fantastic retelling of a tale that has been reinterpreted by counteless stagings all across the globe. But this Cameron Mackintosh and Base Entertainment production  brings even more depth to star-crossed lovers Kim and Chris's devastating choices. Both profoundly moving, and unique, this production brings a new layer of understanding to a musical some of us may have first experienced some 23 years ago. This epic of doomed love, fierce parental instinct, patriotic zeal, the dignity of the everyman and woman, the clash of self-determination and tradition, all wrapped in music and lyrics that are too beautiful to ever forget, is a must watch.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
