This was always one of my mom’s favorite songs from any musical. She always thought this and “Sun and Moon” had the most haunting melodies. I personally love all the key changes. Gives me chills. Saw him on tour and thought the whole cast was amazing! Still one of my favorite musicals.
Why does Saigon never sleep at night Why does this girl smell of orange trees How can I feel good when nothing's right Why is she cool when there is no breeze Vietnam, you don't give answers do you friend Just questions that don't ever end Why God, why today I'm all through here on my way There's nothing left here that I'll miss Why send me now a night like this Who is the girl in this rusty bed Why am I back in a filthy room Why is her voice ringing in my head Why am I high on her cheap perfume Vietnam, hey look, I mean you no offense But why does nothing here make sense Why God, show your hand Why can't one guy understand I've been with girls who knew much more I never felt confused before Why me, what's your plan I can't help her, no one can I liked my memories as they were But now I'll leave remembering her When I went home before, no one talked of the war What they knew from tv didn't have a thing to do with me I went back and re-upped, sure Saigon is corrupt It felt better to be here driving for the embassy 'Cause here if you can pull a string, a guy like me lives like a king Just as long as you don't believe anything Why God, why this face Why such beauty in this place I liked my memories as they were But now I'll leave remembering her, just her
L1sp for sure. My heart breaks for anyone that won’t get the chance to see it. I went with my boyfriend last year and the tickets for this summer were for me and my mom and she was really looking forward to it
I wish I saw him another night than I did because maybe it was just an off day but his acting was not very good at all. That performance also might have just been cursed. The helicopter broke on stage LOL
UGH I'm a mess. Seeing him on the tour was my first ever viewing of the show; breathtaking.
This was always one of my mom’s favorite songs from any musical. She always thought this and “Sun and Moon” had the most haunting melodies. I personally love all the key changes. Gives me chills. Saw him on tour and thought the whole cast was amazing! Still one of my favorite musicals.
saw this production in Madison. not only him, but the whole cast was incredible! you guys have to get Emily Bautista in as Kim, astounding.
They have!
Go Anthony! I watched you guys 7 times in San Francisco & San Jose! Love Miss Saigon!!!🙌🏻
Daaamn respect!
I love this show! So many 😭😭! I want to see it again. I love his voice. Beautiful.
Absolutely fantastic
Sweet jesus this man can sing.
I love Miss Saigon. It’s perfect for auditions. I hope I can soon
Saw the show in Denver and was transformed you could feel the emotion in ever singer.
Can’t wait to see it again
PROUD of you my friend! Love listening to you sing this song every night that you all were here in Houston. Can't wait to work with you again.
He’s incredible! Saw him as Chris in St. Louis and was blown away by his (and Emily’s) talent!! Absolutely phenomenal!
This guy went to my hometown university SUNY Cortland!!
Went to high school with him! He’s amazing!
Powerful and emotional, sung as if he is in character as Chris!!
Stunning performance... it was even better live and in character.
Incredible vocals
With his voice I think he’d play a wonderful Phantom.
the emotion in this was amazing
He would make a great Enjrolas in Les miserables.
saw him a couple months ago he was an incredible chris 🥺🥺
Wow!!
Fantastic! I would love to see him in the show!
Astonishing
I think I saw him as Chris in Chicago. I'm pretty sure it was him.
Edit: I checked my Playbill. It was him.
Good job.
i saw anthony in L.A at Segerstrom in October of 2019
I love this show when does the tour end, I'm in Orlando in June, from UK
Holy cow!!! Amazing!!!
The goosebumps
Why does Saigon never sleep at night
Why does this girl smell of orange trees
How can I feel good when nothing's right
Why is she cool when there is no breeze
Vietnam, you don't give answers do you friend
Just questions that don't ever end
Why God, why today
I'm all through here on my way
There's nothing left here that I'll miss
Why send me now a night like this
Who is the girl in this rusty bed
Why am I back in a filthy room
Why is her voice ringing in my head
Why am I high on her cheap perfume
Vietnam, hey look, I mean you no offense
But why does nothing here make sense
Why God, show your hand
Why can't one guy understand
I've been with girls who knew much more
I never felt confused before
Why me, what's your plan
I can't help her, no one can
I liked my memories as they were
But now I'll leave remembering her
When I went home before, no one talked of the war
What they knew from tv didn't have a thing to do with me
I went back and re-upped, sure Saigon is corrupt
It felt better to be here driving for the embassy
'Cause here if you can pull a string, a guy like me lives like a king
Just as long as you don't believe anything
Why God, why this face
Why such beauty in this place
I liked my memories as they were
But now I'll leave remembering her, just her
Great performance, but this is very poorly recorded... :(
Look up to the sound engineers that do the Live on KEXP stuff!
Seeing him for the 2nd time in June (unless he leaves the tour before then. Fingers crossed not)
Karley Rasmussen I have some bad news for you
L1sp :( I know. I found out last week. I’m so heart broken. I was looking forward to seeing this show again
Karley Rasmussen yeah! I saw the show in November and I’m so heartbroken for the people that had tickets and now have no chance to see it!
L1sp for sure. My heart breaks for anyone that won’t get the chance to see it. I went with my boyfriend last year and the tickets for this summer were for me and my mom and she was really looking forward to it
I prefer more support and less pop blips/hiccups. Especially with the who/where/what/why/when of this piece.
I dont like this version , i prefer a lower void, his is too shrill.
Super talented actor. Highly problematic show...
I wish I saw him another night than I did because maybe it was just an off day but his acting was not very good at all. That performance also might have just been cursed. The helicopter broke on stage LOL
He could definitely be a better-looking Chris, but his VOICE is superior, for sure!
Sorry, but although he can sing, it wasn't by far one of my favorites singers for this song.
