It's such a powerful scene. It's probably become one of my favourite musical scenes ever. I watched the 25th anniversary one and Thuy there was so amazing.
#LeaSalonga was the best stage actress in her prime, well for a decade. These stage performances are so riveting! Must've been so draining on her night after night of live performances. #misssaigon
I think 🤔 this is the 3 BEST 👍 Filipino stage performers ever in a musicale play Mr. Leo Valdez, Robert Sena and of course the 1 & only Ms Lea Salonga 👏 She is truly excellent 👍 and tailored made for the role of Kim among them ALL. Bravo 👏 😄
This is the best Miss Saigon for meThe cast and Lea are the cast for me. Hays why kim didn’t choose Thuy i mean she deserves Thuy more than Chris who’s a doucebag

Can this Manila 2000 production be the best ever. By the way I watched this personally when I was 25 yo with my officemate and she even wore a chong sam on the theater lol
The strongest, most moving trio performing the most passionate scene in miss saigon. Could watch it over and over.
It's such a powerful scene. It's probably become one of my favourite musical scenes ever. I watched the 25th anniversary one and Thuy there was so amazing.
@@svetlana1996 Watched 25th anniversary. I was so good. Especially they're acting.

*Back In Town*
Manila 2000
*Engineer:* Leo Valdez
*Kim:* Lea Salonga
*Thuy:* Robert Seña
*Soldiers:* Jojo Urquico (1), Jon Jon Briones (2), Edward Briones (3), Arvin Quirante (4), Ariel Reonal (5)
*ENGINEER*
Coo-coo princess, look who’s here
Your ressurected Engineer
Don’t ask me how I tracked you down
Who has the sharpest nose in town
I’m here to throw a rope before you drown
For men will always be men
You changed the regime
The lust doesn’t stop
You and I can team up again
Together we’ll reap
The cream of the crop
*KIM*
Engineer, I don’t want you here
I gave up that life
You must understand
*ENGINEER*
Out that door is a big shot who waits
Like a pup to come up and wat out of your hands
Kim, the good times are back
*KIM*
Don’t go on it’s too late
*ENGINEER*
Not too late for my star
*KIM*
Please, let me hide in peace!
*ENGINEER*
Better to screw the police!
Come in, Monsieur Commissar
*THUY*
Three years, I’ve been away
I kept faith we would meet
*ENGINEER*
Me, I found her for you
*THUY*
You, out in the street!
I knew in time
Fate would weave a design
Tying your life and mine into one
Each day I’d wait
Like a soldier must wait
Trusting victory to come with a sun
After the fight in the still of the night
I would picture my wife, bright as jade
You’ll be my wife, we will build a new life
And fulfill the vow our father’s made
*KIM*
My fathers vow I can’t honour today
And I pray in my heart he’ll forgive
What you want now are some words I can’t say
If I lied to you, how could I live?
*THUY*
Don’t say anymore!
Not a word!
You will change
You will learn!
Look at me
Don’t decide too soon…
*KIM*
Somewhere deep in soul
Shines the smallest of lights
And no wind blows it out
It burns steady and strong
Through the darkest of nights…
Dju vui vay
Yu doi may
Dju vui vay
Vao nyay moy
I made a promise once with these words
Which neither time nor distance has changed
He will come to me still.
*THUY*
You must be mad, Your American jack
Has gone for good and he’ll never come back!
They ran away with this skin they could save
The ones who stayed here are dead in a grave!
*ENGINEER*
Come on now, princess
Get off of your cloud!
I’m sorry, sir, she was talking so loud
The commissar is a powerful man
A girl with brain makes a life where she can
Princess, remember your place
Don’t make people lose face!
*THUY*
Why do you look away?
I can end all this shame
All you need to say is ‘yes’
*OFFICER* (shouted)
Forward!
*SOLDIERS*
On silent feet, we came
*( THUY* - You hear those soldiers outside? *)*
Breathing a sheet of flame, it came
*( THUY* - They’ll do what ever I say! *)*
*(ENGINEER* - You better make your move! *)*
Closing in on it’s rightful prey
*( KIM* - I cannot change what I feel! *)*
Burning a hundred years away
*( THUY* - Come inside! *)*
To camps! To camp the traitors to the camp!
*( THUY* - I think you will change before eyes *)*
*THUY*
This me-my has just been found!
She hid the day we closed the bars
Show her that we don’t forget!
No one betrays us without scars!
*SOLDIER 1*
You are a woman who lived without shame!
*SOLDIER 2*
You’re an infection left over from war!
*SOLDIER 3*
You have dishonored the national name!
*SOLDIER 4*
Re-education will cure the disease!
*SOLDIER 5*
You must be shown what we do to a leach!
*SOLDIER 1*
See how we teach an American’s whore!
*ENGINEER*
I have heard hundreds of speeched like these
Take it from me, you don’t to hear more
*THUY*
It’s time to act
My friends, it’s time!
*SOLDIERS*
Her face betrays her crime
She must pay!
And her partner too!
*ENGINEER*
Are you waiting for them to kill me?
Did you not get what he said?
There’s a big screw loose inside you
I will rip it iut of your head!
There’s a mad dog on the rampage
If you think he’ll change, save your breath!
Just say yes, I don’t care if you love him
Princess, life has it all over death!
*KIM*
I have a husband I love
Real as the sun and the sky
I cannot live with a lie!
*THUY*
Do you see now who has power?
Do you still think crazy things?
*KIM*
Chris will come to me like a phoenix
And he’ll take me off on his wings
*THUY*
You’re a traitor to your country!
*KIM*
If I am then let it be!
*TOGETHER*
I am talking of life or death now!
I am talking of staying free!
*ENGINEER*
So there it is now
I’ll be moving on
If you don’t need me, I’d rather be gone
Two kinds inlove don’t need strangers around
*THUY*
You just get out!
*ENGINEER*
Right, I won’t make a sound!
oh the soldiers and the CO captain of the morning of the dragon is good to be act and Kim and the engineer
