A classic love story is brought up-to-date in one of the most stunning theatrical spectacles of all time. In MISS SAIGON SCHOOL EDITION, Alain Boublil
and
Claude-Michel Schönberg
(the creators of LES MISÉRABLES and MISS SAIGON), along with
Richard Maltby,Jr., bring Puccini's Madame Butterfly to the modern world in a moving testament to the human spirit and a scathing indictment of the tragedies of war.
In
the turmoil of the Vietnam War, an American soldier and a Vietnamese
girl fall in love, only to be separated during the fall of Saigon.
Their struggles to find each other over the ensuing years ends in
tragedy for her and a fighting chance for the child he never knew he
had.
An international sensation, MISS SAIGON is
an epic, daring pop opera that is universal in its emotional power even
as it deals with controversial, contemporary issues. Its sung-through
pop-inflected score gives a multi-ethnic cast of strong pop singers an
opportunity to shine, in showstopping numbers like "I Still Believe," "Why God Why?" and "The American Dream." Meanwhile, its fluid cinematic
structure gives directors and designers a field day.
Raw and uncompromising, MISS SAIGON SCHOOL EDITION is an intensely personal story of the losses we suffer and the sacrifices we make in a world gone mad.
