So excited to see Miss Saigon back on stage esp in Southern California!
Theatre location was in a shady neighborhood with few restaurants, so had to drive further out to arrive on time for doors to open. There was free parking close to theatre.
Beautiful preservation inside historic theatre with great seats in each area and drinks allowed inside.
Storyline still heartwrenching even with changes to script by adding, deleting, and removing lines. Saddened with overused profanity, which was unnecessary to this already powerful tragic love story.
Vocals were powerful especially by cast members per playbill: Chris (Jordan Killion), Gigi (Angel Dumapias), and Ellen (Katie McGhie), even with the noticeable lyric changes when one is fond of the original Broadway soundtrack.
Scenery still amazing with the helicopter and prop locations to see cast.
Costumes were also sadly modernized to be more revealing, which was also unnecessary to keep this well known tragedy alive.
Still a fan and thankful for all the effort and hard work involved!
