We're going to see Miss Saigon at the local outdoor theater (the largest one in the country) tonight.

Spoiler alert:

Miss Saigon is a musical about an American GI and a Vietnamese girl who meet and fall in love during the Vietnam War. Girl gets pregnant, guy leaves. Guy comes back, girl kills herself, guy and guy's wife takes care of the kid. It's by the same two guys who did the Les Miserables musical, so what do you expect but depressing?

The Les Mis musical is definitely worth watching. The guys who played Jean Valjean the two times I saw it on stage were these awesome big guys with deep, gorgeous voices.

Just got back from Miss Saigon:

The fantastic part of seeing Miss Saigon at the Muny is that since the Muny is an outdoors, roofless theater, when the helicopter takes Chris away there's A REAL LIVE ******** HELICOPTER FLYING 100 FEET OVER THE MUNY! ******** YEAH!

The main actors were fantastic in this production and the chemistry superb. This is one of those musicals that consistently choked me up and teared me up. ("You Will Not Touch Him", "I'd Give My Life For You", "Bui Doi", and "Finale" were especially heartbreaking.)



I'm going to try and drag Chris to see it before it's over. It's really good, and I'd like to see it again.

that's fabulous o_o

Has Miss Saigon been made into a movie yet?

No. sad


But even if they made it in to a movie (which I REALLY hope they do) I don't think they'd be able to have a helicopter fly over my house at the right part during the movie.
