I had seen the New York performance back when Miss Saigon first appeared on Broadway and found it amazing! I knew that the Detroit, Fisher Theatre version was going to be scaled down from what I had seen in New York and figured I might not be quite as satisfied, but I was taking a friend of mine to see the production for her first time, and loved the story and music so much myself that I was willing to overlook the scaled down version for myself just so my friend could see the production. It was every bit as amazing and satisfying as when I saw it in New York in spite of the down scale of the production. All the principal singers and chorus vocals were amazing, the orchestra was great, the story and set changes flowed. The lighting worked. I thought I might be disappointed in the fall of Saigon / helicopter scene BUT WASN'T! Everything came together beautifully! I would recommend this touring production to anyone who might have the opportunity to see it.
