I know they are never as good as the stage production, but man do I want to see a Miss Saigon movie!!!!
I loved this musical many years ago it's one of my dad's favourites. it's very emotional but beautiful. I'd love to see it again
I have now booken the tickets for Miss Saigon 25th Anniversary Performance at the Vue Cinema in Scunthorpe on Sunday the 16th of October and I will be going to see it with my mum and I am sure that we will both enjoy seeing it
oh my! i have a class! and i am being irresponsible here just clicking and clicking and clicking... clicking... clicking... cant get enough of miss saigon!!
I love this show and I don't mind to watch it this many times
Can't wait. I LOVED the original, seeing it multiple times. I hope they haven't altered it too much.
just one word, brilliant xx
this will be absolutely fabulous show ever!!!! can't wait to see it in May!!!! Thank you for bringing it back to life!!!!
I really hope they make a 25th anniversary concert DVD, since I'm no where near being able to see this live but I love this so much.
Oh I've just seen this new version of Miss Saigon 2014 and it is truly SPECTACULAR. Just heard it has been extended until April 2015 in London's Prince Edward Theatre. Very Highly recommended. :-)
OMG Chills! Lea Salonga, she is just perfection! #Legend
I AM soooo super excited!!!
I have seen this musical all over the world. I can't wait to get to London in July to see it. May go a few times if I can score more tickets. But I am very very sad that they have replaced ''Now that I've seen her"' - most moving part of the show imo

Simon Bowman, the original and so much the very best Chris xxxxx
Chills chills chills chills chills
I am going to watch this in summertime to study Chris. My school is doing Miss Saigon next year.
Two years later, how did the show go? Did you get the part?
+musicaltheatergeek79 Show went great! I got Chris U/S but I went on to play The Engineer. ☺.
That's great! That's an upgrade, since The Engineer is a bigger part.
musicaltheatergeek79 It was fun too. :)
I so need a dvd recording of miss Saigon, like they did with les mis and phantom. please, please, please
Wish I could go to London. :(
Me too :-O
It's time Miss Saigon met the Big Screen!!
I dunno, man. It could be a colossal fuckup like Les Miserable was. The only musical that made a decent transition to film was Lloyd Webber's "Phantom". That's just my opinion...
I like Ellen....I don't see her as a villain that needed to be hated or get rid off. The irony of her character is that even though she's far detached from the war, one that happened half across the world that later on she'll realize that she not that far from it at all...instead she became entangled by the consequence of its destruction. I wonder if MAYBE wil be sung during the scene where Chris went out to search for Kim. I hope they don't replace "Now that I've met her"/ "Her or Me" with that song, because these songs are really emotional & powerful expressions of Ellen's desperation & fear of possibly losing Chris to Kim.
I must see this!
nobody can beat the original,iba pa rin ang hagod ng boses ni Ms Lea.she is still the best.
Seen it live 4 times. Not the latest though. Hope it comes on DVD in Canada. Bought a copy from England but mailed it to the Library back there as it does not play on Canadian DVDs
I love lea, l love the original kim , the perfect kim
does anyone know if they are going to make a dvd of the 25th anniversary?
I'd love to see it on the stage, but it would be cool to have it on dvd too.
Btw Lea Salonga is awesome

It will be!
still Lea.
That's it...I'm going the England....
LOL @ everybody wants to get rid of Ellen, I disagree. The Prince Edward theater looks incredible. If this same cast/ production don't travel to the states, I'm crossing my fingers for an performance extension in London to at least end of Nov 2014. Who is @ 6:21? Is he Thuy?
rachelle ann will play Gigi and also she will be an understudy of Ellen.
Are they going to release a new soundtrack with the different lyrics and new song?
Rachelle Ann Go on 6:00
Why is LES MIZ randomly inserted at 6:06?
***** but why did they use a shot of "A Heart Full of Love" from LES MIZ?
Marvin Melhorn I think it was just to show something he had appeared in. Just prior to 6:06 there is an excerpt from OLIVER showing Tamsin Carroll (Ellen) performing.
hi! Where I found this picture a child with his mother?

Who's the actor playing Chris at 0:09?
They screw up this show when they cast 30+ actors (or even late 20s). Kim is only supposed be 17 at the start, and Chris not much older than 20, and they only age 3 years in the interim. It's stated that Chris is a driver for the U.S. embassy, and during the last days of Saigon, the drivers were barely 18. In fact, much has been written about the extreme youth of the remaining troops in Vietnam, after the Paris Peace Accord of 1973 (which essentially ended US military combat), and how they preferred the bars and whores. Saigon was like one big frat party! The opening number "The Heat Is On in Saigon" captures that atmosphere very well.
Anyway, a lot is lost when they cast over-the-hill actors, because instead of looking at Kim and Chris as tragic victims of circumstance, they come off as whiny, annoying adults who made poor decisions -- especially that Ellen, who is supposed to be the same age as Chris, but in almost every production she's portrayed as a thirtysomething harpy. If they ever make a movie, I hope they cast age-appropriate actors. It would be even more noticeable on film, if they cast older.
The Kim they cast was only 17 when she was cast as well. Chris is slightly older, but definitely one of the most boyish looking Chris' I've seen cast. IDK about Ellen. I agree about the importance of how the actors' portray the characters, but I think this revival tried to do their best to honor the original cast.
You have to keep in mind that the role of Chris is extremely high and difficult to perform. Most male voices don't fully mature until the early to mid 30s, and so to find someone in their early twenties who can sing the role well enough and healthily enough for 8 performances a week, is a VERY difficult feat.
Can I assume you're not going to see the revival when it opens on Broadway in 2017?
Probably not. I don't care for the new orchestrations and lyrics, nor the replacement of "Please" with "Too Much For One Heart" (but at least they share the same melody) and especially "Now That I've Seen Her" with the mediocre "Maybe." They're always revising this show, but seem to make it worse. IMO, the original Broadway production was the best. In London, they were still ironing out the kinks, but by the time it arrived in NYC two years later, it was perfection.
I've never seen the face.
They could have added a duet where Chris & Ellen first meet and how they fell in love. Some of the characters in the show is so under written. I find the Engineer to be over written.
Yes, I don't think adding another number for Ellen will suddenly win people over to the character and I feel "Now That I've Seen Her" already delivers pretty much the same message as I hear "Maybe" is intended to. Personally, I would have preferred a solo for Thuy. He has the potential to be so much more than just the "villain" and, as a previous poster mentions, he is sadly under written. Likewise with the Les Mis movie, "Suddenly" was a number that achieved little when, if a new song had to be written, it could have fleshed out another under written character, Enjolras.
JAKE216 They are replacing the song "Now that I've seen her" with "Maybe."
Miss Saigon never play in Saigon
Vann q NGUYEN I wonder why...
Khai Huynh Yes it will... or might...
still Lea.
