Miss Saigon relates the story of Puccini's Madame Butterfly set during the Vietnam War. As the war turns against the Americans, villagers are rushing to Saigon for refuge. One of them is Kim, a 17-year-old girl whose family was killed. She becomes a reluctant bar girl at the Dreamland club employed by The Engineer (her pimp) where one perfect night she meets a young American GI, Chris. The two quickly fall in love and move in together. When Saigon falls however, Chris is evacuated and must leave Kim behind. She gives birth to their son, Tam, and with the unlikely ally of The Engineer, find their way to Bangkok. It is here where they all meet again with a tragic end to this epic musical.



What is Miss Saigon Like?
Miss Saigon is most appreciated by those who enjoy a classic love story brought up-to-date in a stunning theatrical spectacle. The creators, the same team who brought Les Miserables to Broadway, have brought another epic, daring pop opera that deals with controversial, contemporary issues. MISS SAIGON has won 30 major theatre awards including three Tony Awards, four Drama Desk Awards and three Outer Critics Circle Awards. Approximately 27 companies have opened Miss Saigon in 25 countries and 246 cities and Miss Saigon has been translated into 12 different languages.

Is Miss Saigon Good for Kids?
Miss Saigon is a multi-generational for both its heightened drama and its energetic score. The show does contain adult elements, including prostitution, suggestive choreography and some violence. Young children are best left at home with a sitter.
