March 16, 2007 Play, Musical - Miss Saigon. Music by Claude-Michel
Schönberg & Alain Boublil, with lyrics by Richard Maltby, Jr., premiered at
the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, in London in 1989, closing after 4264
performances. Opened at the Broadway Theatre in New York in 1991, it enjoyed
over 4000 performances there, as well. Miss Saigon is a modern adaptation of
Giacomo Puccini's opera, Madame Butterfly, a tragic tale of a doomed
romance. An Asian woman abandoned by her Caucasian lover in 1970's Saigon
during the Vietnam War, the musical's inspiration was a photograph found by
Schönberg in a magazine. The photo showed a Vietnamese mother at Tan Son
Nhat Airport sending her daughter to the U.S. to be raised by the father, an
ex-GI. Schönberg considered this mother's actions to be the ultimate
sacrifice. It is central to the plot of Miss Saigon. Reserved seating
