oh crap.... here it comes.

Let me get this out of the way:
Transfer Please!!

[Broadway Bob*]

I wonder if this will be a recreation of the original gargantuan staging or a new concept? I've always said I want to see how this show fairs (fares?) in an intimate setting, stripping away the glitz and over-produced Mackintosh of the 80s-isms and letting the human elements reign supreme. I think it would be an incredibly moving experience.

fares

[Broadway Bob*]

Thank you.

Why God Why?

^This won't be a recreation of the original staging, Bob. Cameron is just mounting the recent Dutch production in the West End. That was the one with the helicopter on the video screen.

when is this going to open??

[theminutepast]

I would love to see Miss Saigon on Broadway. I hope this production is successful and transfers.

[Proper Villain]

CATSNYrevival - is that the same production as the one CamMac toured around the UK with Ramin Karimloo in '06, directed by the same man who did the Phantom RAH concert/tour, and the 25th anniversary production of Les Miz?

Maybe they'll work in Maybe?

[CurtainPullDowner]

Discovering a new La Salonga is gonna be quite a task.

[CATSNYrevival]

^The Dutch production used "Maybe." I assume this production will as well.
