HIT SAIGON!
Review of Miss Saigon by
KarenUK
Advantages: An excellent show, high quality throughout
Disadvantages: No helicopter!
The Bristol Hippodrome is currently home to Cameron Mackintosh's new production of the hit musical Miss. Saigon. Being a big fan of this genre, my daughter and I really wanted to see it, so I bought the tickets through Ticketmaster - £35 for mine, £30 for hers - and we saw it last night, fourth row of the stalls.
Miss. Saigon is quite a 'heavy' musical, not one I would recommend for young kids (swearing, murder, suicide, skimpy costumes) or for ...

Review of Miss Saigon by
Critchyboy
Advantages: Excellent show
Disadvantages: None
...through the first act but Miss Saigon caught me unaware in the sixth song of the show and me, a 25 year old bloke, was blubbering his heart out…
But enough of that and onto the show:-
This is a review of Miss Saigon when I saw it at the Palace Theatre in Manchester. The Palace Theatre itself has undergone and overhaul, both backstage and front of house and looks fantastic. The Theatre itself is easy to get to both by car, follow signs for ...

Review of Miss Saigon by
zoe_page
Advantages: ..
Disadvantages: ..
...in Manchester. At the moment, Miss Saigon is showing there about 8 times a week (6 x evenings and 2 matinees). It’s been on since last November, and will continue to show until June, and I saw it for the first time last weekend. Not the first time here, you understand, but the first time ever. I’ve seen a lot of musicals in my time, and danced a handful or so, but Miss Saigon has never appeared in that list. The most I know is one song ...

the heat is on in saigon
Review of Miss Saigon by
darrenaspinall
Advantages: great musical
Disadvantages: don't presume you don't like musicals until you;ve seen this one
I went to see Miss Saigon on Saturday 19th January 2002, at the palace theatre in Manchester. We had to go to the matinee because all of the evening performances were sold out. The palace theatre itself has recently undergone a development costing in excess of 300,000. There is a modern box office, different signage and front façade, new canopy, another kiosk and merchandise positions and a fully re-fitted pit bar. The surroundings looked and felt ...

A brilliant, heart renching experience.
Review of Miss Saigon by
consumer5
Advantages: Powerfull, moving and dramatic.
Disadvantages: Expensive tickets.
One word to summarise Miss Siagon? I would certainly say Intense, intense and intense. I went to the Apollo theatre in Manchetser (after paying a tear jerking amount for my ticket) with no idea of the story, form, style or critical response to the play. Thankfully for me (and my empty purse) I was actually very surprised at the brilliance of the whole affair. Yes, it was heavy and the constant operatic form did, in parts become quite tiring. But it ...

Must see show
Review of Miss Saigon by
holty
Advantages: fantastic!!
Disadvantages: May need to invest in a waterproof mascara!!
I went to see Miss Saigon at the Palace Theatre, Manchester, at a cost of approximately 36.00 per ticket. I wouldn't usually pay so much for tickets, but I heard so much about the production I decided to take the plunge!!
As the show began I was slightly unsure of whether I had made the right choice - I had attended musical theatre productions before - but not a musical where there were no spoken words. I soon forgot my reservations as the production ...

~~A Superb Masterpiece from Mackintosh~~
Review of Miss Saigon by
digitalenvironmentalist
Advantages: Most spectacular production around the world
Disadvantages: The UK tour has already ended but there might be possible future shows
...and Down Under acclaiming that Miss Saigon is one of the best productions ever shown around the world! After reading reviews available on-line, I was inspired to write my own review considering that I was able to watch the play for 3 times: April 1997 (New York, USA), October 2000 (Manila, Philippines) and October 2005 (Belfast, Northern Ireland). With no doubt, each review has its own merit of telling us why Miss Saigon is highly recommended play ...

Victims of war
Review of Miss Saigon by
RuthHolohan
Advantages: Brilliant story and songs
Disadvantages: Sad
...first took me to see Miss Saigon in the West End when I was 11 years old and I don't think I truly understood the meanings behind it, but it made a big impact on me even then.
The musical begins during the Vietnam war in a Saigon brothel run by the Engineer - an 'entrapreneur' who is desperate to get to the USA to live the 'American Dream'. Its Kim's first night and she is young and nervous but very beautiful. Chris - a US marine who was dragged ...

Bring your tissues
Review of Miss Saigon by
anjib
Advantages: dramatic, emotional, good songs and storyline
Disadvantages: need plenty of tissues, not so suitable for children
This musical is guaranteed to have you crying (filling up at the very least).
What really makes this musical outstanding and different from some of the other Cameron Mackintosh/Andrew Lloyd Webbers is the many different emotions that it has to portray.
On minute you are in a brothel and all the girls are singing and performing (literally!!!!), the next you have very emotional ballads between a marine, his wife and his lover (father of his child) ...

Another opera that you shouldnt miss
Review of Miss Saigon by
pehchiong
Advantages: Good opera to watch
Disadvantages: Sad ending
Miss Saigon, a popular love sotry during the wartime. Since it is a story in Saigon, so the whole musical always have a touch of the oriental culture, including the costumes and the backdrop.
The story starts at the club owned by "The Engineer" who want to flee from his country. This guy is a real joker and he is the one creating most of the laughther throughout the show. The serious and the most important part is between the love of a poor girl ...
