BIO
Red Concepcion is an exciting and dynamic performer. With more than a decade's worth of shows under his belt, he has portrayed a wide array of characters and has consistently churned out electric performances.
Red has recently won two of the most prestigious theatre awards in his homeland, the Philippines. He won the Aliw Award Best Actor in a Musical and the Gawad Buhay! Award for his star turn as Adam/Felicia in "Priscilla: Queen of the Desert".
Red's strong voice, expressive dancing and unique flair for comedy has made him a much sought-after actor in Manila, where he has appeared in such hit musicals as "Cinderella", "West Side Story", "Hairspray" and a number of original works.
Red has also been lauded for his work in plays such as the Manila productions of "The Normal Heart", where he played Tommy Boatwright, and "Equus" where he made waves as disturbed Alan Strang.
Red is just as comfortable in front of the camera as he is on stage. He was most recently seen as the tough but loveable dishwasher Sam in "The Boston: The Kitchen Musical", a musical comedy series which aired around Asia and in the United States on Myx TV.
Red hopes to reach a wider audience, and intends to be able to perform on a global scale one day.
He has achieved this dream through a star turn as co-lead The Engineer in the 2017-2018 European tour of "Miss Saigon", and as of August 2018 leads the new US TOUR of MISS SAIGON as "The Engineer"

BWW Interview: Red Concepcion Plays the Engineer in MISS SAIGON Opening in New Orleans Next Week
by Heidi Scheuermann - Jan 18, 2020
There are a handful of musicals that I firmly believe every self-proclaimed theatre lover needs to see, if for no other reason, to say they've seen it. Among the ranks are LES MISERABLES, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, WEST SIDE STORY, I think it's now pretty safe to add WICKED to the list, and MISS SAIGON. They're classics, if you will. New Orleans is lucky enough to have two of these as part of the 2019-2020 Broadway Across America season, and gracing us this coming week is none other than MISS SAIGON.

BWW Review: MISS SAIGON at Majestic Theatre
by Kathy Strain - Jan 9, 2020
Many people in attendance at the performance of MISS SAIGON at the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio have vivid memories of the Vietnam War. Many may have actually fought over there, many protested in the United States in antiwar demonstrations, while others may have been living in the fighting zones as innocent villagers. No matter where your physical body was at the time, all can agree that the Vietnam War was a time of turmoil, fear, and uncertainty. No one understood the war but yet, the war dragged on. Although most U.S. Troops were pulled out of Vietnam in 1973, a small number remained until 1975 when President Ford ordered the helicopter evacuations of 7000 Americans and South Vietnamese from Saigon. This is the time just before the evacuations where MISS SAIGON takes place. No matter what your feelings about the Vietnam War, MISS SAIGON is a wonderful interpretation of the many real people who all just wanted to survive and find joy again in their lives.

BWW Review: MISS SAIGON at the Paramount - The Heat is On, but Not All the Way
by Jay Irwin - Oct 30, 2019
Dear Readers, I've been a fan of a?oeMiss Saigona?? for years now, ever since it first came out back in 1991. I've seen tours, local productions, revivals on Broadway, and even a one-man interpretation that needs to find new life somewhere. So, I know what I'm looking for in any production; amazing voices and a heart wrenching, tear inducing love story. The current production at the Paramount has the voices but lacked the honesty and realism that would satisfy the love story.

BWW Review: MISS SAIGON is More Than Spectacle - But It Helps
by Chris Arneson - Sep 19, 2019
It's probably been quite a while since you've seen Miss Saigon...but if you have, you'll likely recall its extravagant moments most. The vibrantly large sets, huge ensemble number and of course the legendary helicopter.

BWW Review: The Horrific Beauty of MISS SAIGON Returns to Nashville's Tennessee Performing Arts Center
by Jeffrey Ellis - Jun 5, 2019
Compellingly dramatic and featuring an exquisitely emphatic score performed by a dazzling cadre of triple-threat actors and a 15-person orchestra, Miss Saigon once again lands at Nashville's Tennessee Performing Arts Center's Andrew Jackson Hall this week for an eight-performance run that will almost certainly stand out among the very best of productions to play Music City during the tenure of departing CEO Kathleen O'Brien. With heart-stopping performances by its trio of stars – Red Concepcion as The Engineer, Emily Bautista as Kim and Anthony Festa as Chris are superb – who are ably supported by a huge company of equally impressive performers, Miss Saigon is at once one of musical theater's most stunning examples, while remaining an enigma among audiences yet to experience its power in person.
