‘Miss Saigon’ on stage at the
California Theatre
MISS SAIGON
A classic love story is brought up-to-date in one of
the most stunning theatrical spectacles of all time. In Miss
Saigon, Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg (the creators of Les Misérables), 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 a tragedy for her and a fighting chance for the
child he never knew he had. Raw and uncompromising, Miss
Saigon is an intensely personal story of the losses we suffer and the
sacrifices we make in a world gone mad.
