About Miss Saigon
Be swept away by this epic tale of love and sacrifice, by Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil, the creative team that brought you Les Misérables.
Set in Saigon during the Vietnam War, this musical tells the tale of romance between Chris, an American GI, and Kim, a Vietnamese bar girl. They are separated when Saigon falls and the American troops leave Vietnam. Years later, Chris learns that Kim is still alive and raising his son, and he returns to find her. The story is based on Giacomo Puccini's opera Madame Butterfly.
Please note: this musical is not suitable for children.
