Director: Chris Bradtke

From the writers of "Les Miserables", comes another of the most popular musicals of all time, "Miss Saigon". Based on Puccini's opera, Madame Butterfly, this epic production centres on the romance between a strong-willed Vietnamese woman and an American soldier during the Vietnam War.

Set in 1975 during the final days leading up to the American evacuation of Saigon, Miss Saigon is the story of two young lovers tom apart by the fortunes of destiny and held together by a burning passion and the fate of a small child. This musical masterpiece with its soaring melodies and powerful emotions has captured hearts - and awards - around the world.

A stirring blend of soaring love ballads, heart-warming melodies, electrifying marches and more, the score of Miss Saigon has been acclaimed as uplifting, exuberant hopeful and true. Unforgettable songs such as "The Heat is On in Saigon," "The Movie in My Mind," 'Why God why?," "Sun and Moon," "The Last Night of the world," "The Morning of the Dragon," "l Still Believe," "Bui-Doi," and "The American Dream" powerfully conjure up the steamy nights, crowds, passion and danger of Saigon.
