    Truly a core memory being made in that room. I’ll never forget this moment. Eternally grateful to be sitting by these 4 women that I’ve looked up to for the longest time.

    "It's always a blessing to be performing on stage." I wonder what it feels like to be living your dream.

    Isay blends with the younger ones. You'd thought she's just on her late 20's or early 30's.

    You cant beat the original but versions are exciting and appealing. It is like adobo but with vinegar soysauce as original ingridients now you added more spices to suit different taste same as Ms. Saigon. The Engineer is flambouyant and queer, mqybe later on he will be notorious ganster or model like handsome guy. Or maybe Kim is not 16 yrs old but 20 something intelligent woman who are in university but a victim of war.

      I agree, but the new Asian cast is a revelation… there something that will magnify you to be glued with this cast.. I’ve seen the revival here at NYC but I’m sure all our kababayan will be just as I amazed with entire production !

    Original Miss Saigon is it.
    Sana, magkaroon ng original musical ang mga pilipino instead of wasting their time and talent trying to recreate an original.
    Miss Saigon is getting old and its music is just soso but the original was an experience BECAUSE IT WAS SOMETHING NEW AT THE TIME. The only songs or numbers in the show that really stood out were Isay Alvarez “Movie in My Mind” and Jonathan Pryce “American Dream.” Other than that, the musical was just average.
    Filipinos are talented on stage, no doubt. But are Filipinos talented enough to produce its own original hit production instead of being musical OFWs working for a foreign production?

      Hi po! Please support local theatre productions dami dami especially this year! Three of us in this vid are proud to be alumnae of Ang Huling El Bimbo! So grateful to my many theatre mentors and directors who were Miss Saigon alumni that ended up taking their international training and bringing it back home to the PH. Ang saya!

    Miss Saigon is one of those works of art that has aged poorly. It is cringe-worthy when many Filipinas still think a role in this play is covetable. There's a reason Vietnamese themselves don't want to be a part of it. 😬 It is demeaning for Asian women, reinforces American interventionism, white man’s burden, and white supremacy, pero here are Filipinas, celebrating being a part of such play.

      This is not reinforcing anything, this is only telling a story through art, a story that has happened in real time in the past and yes they should be proud because they have done so well with their talent & hardwork
