03. The Movie In My Mind - Miss Saigon Original West End Cast

[@sophiadelrosario7532]

[GIGI] They are not nice, they're mostly noise They swear like men, they screw like boys I know there's nothing in their hearts But every time I take one in my arms It starts: The movie in my mind The dream they leave behind A scene I can't erase And in a strong GI's embrace Flee this life Flee this place The movie plays and plays The screen before me fills He takes me to New York He gives me dollar bills Our children laugh all day And eat too much ice cream And life is like a dream Dream The dream I long to find The movie in my mind [KIM] I will not cry, I will not think I'll do my dance, I'll make them drink When I make love, it won't be me And if they hurt me, I'll just close my eyes [KIM, GIRLS] And see they are not nice, they're mostly noise The movie in my mind they kill like men, they die like boys The dream that fills my head they give their cash, they keep their hearts A man who will not kill but every night again it starts [KIM] Who'll fight for me instead He'll keep us safe all day So no one comes at night To blow the dream away Dream The dream I have to find The movie in my mind [ALL GIRLS] And in a strong GI's embrace Flee this life Flee this place [KIM] A world that's far away Where life is not unkind The movie in my mind

[@hattierainford1060]

Poor Gigi :/ ... Poor everyone. Miss Saigon is heartbreaking for everyone. I'm just going to sit here and cry. Don't mind me....

[@donsrb2592]

true. this show makes it hard for me to move on for days.

[@jordyn9481]

Exactly 💔

[@nasredinhodja]

One more lost soul alongside you :-)

[@stevenweller9413]

Yeah, and yet I still come back to hear it again and again…

[@enjolras76]

I'm with you. Its *such* a powerful show. Words fail.............

[@lamiserehq3031]

How can so many people be so wrong? There is no such thing as an official cast recording of the original Broadway cast. This is the original London cast recording!

[@gregstern8763]

Your right. I don't even think there is even a highlight CD of the Broadway cast

[@H1delta]

Greg Stern There is. It looks like the videographer used a cell phone because of the poor quality of sound and picture. Don't forget this was taken almost 12 years ago but it's still good. Lea played Kim and I don't know who played Gigi but she looks Filipina and she was also good. Look up Miss Saigon, final performance on Broadway.

[@nebusimeoni99]

+H1delta it's ISAY ALVAREZ (gigi-original london cast) from the Philippines...

[@MBM1117727]

It started in London anyway so this is the original cast.

[@marimbat5945]

I’m pretty sure this is the original cast because that voice sounds like Lea Salonga and she was with the original cast

Thanks for the lyrics!!

[@liamdraws7618]

was this isay alvarez?

[@DMliliway]

Yes, this is Ms. Isay :)

[@ellarose6608]

감사합니다

[@janmichaelnunez429]

I beg to differ. I grew up in the Original London Cast. Isay Alvarez as Gigi just sounds perfect for the character. Rachele Ann Go is also talented, don't get me wrong. But she is mostly appealing to the new generation of audience. I kind of hear her rendition as more of commercialized. Isay's rendition is pure character of Gigi.

[@gerardvito3364]

Gigi is perfect for ISAY. GIGI is a more experienced and matured bar girl which fits the voice of isay

[@ullahoo]

Since I saw the 25 jubileum performance on Live on HD, on Monday, I can't get this song out of my head! I saw the musical twice in London, 1991 and 1994, so no need to say: one of my favourite musicals!!! :)

[@Hihihihihihi147]

This feels a lot like I dreamed a dream

[@jaybonn5973]

When you look at the lyrics, this is an insurmountably sad song.

[@myawksaigon]

You can turn on the subtitles for the lyrics.

[@dragonflarefrog1424]

@@myawksaigon Good job man. It must’ve taken a while to add those substitutes and make them accurately timed.

[@ariell6489]

I love this song. It's so sad but beautifully sung and gorgeous.

[@nasugbubatangas]

This is Isay Alvarez' defining song for me. I'll always love her for this song.

[@gavinpowers1217]

This is the most beautiful piece of music and lyrics ever. The movie in my mind. Kim, you just want to be her or warn her.

[@leonkiat485]

This is Original London Cast.

[@jeremiahdube9453]

Very much looking forward to the return to Broadway. I will be in attendance!!

[@zappapappa]

+Jeremiah Dube Oh man you definitely have something to look forward to! I've seen it twice in the last 4 weeks and it's absolutely awesome. I know only two of the London cast are appearing in Broadway but I'm sure the cast there will be as good. The set, score, orchestration, and direction is spot on and it's a show not to be missed. I'm just a little sad as it means I won't get to see it again for at least another 2 years.

[@gregstern8763]

This is Gigi and Kim. Ellen comes in in one dong towards the end of act 1 and then she is in Act 2. The central character of this musical is Kim.

[@EzraEel05]

Yea thats 100% percent accurate.

[@rowelmerez7792]

I soooo love the lyrics of this song.

[@adamrose6194]

Love this song with passion

[@cyrodilicbrandy]

@Krystal Harwood Well it's actually Gigi singing the first part; Ellen doesn't come in until towards the end of the first act, I think. Ellen is Chris' wife in America, this is set in the Engineer's brothel in Vietnam, basically.

[@nonchalant5315]

I still prefer the original version to those of today.. I feel more emotion and conviction in their voices

[@elbonsu6965]

Fantastic singing , beautiful,

[@krystalharwood7888]

i never understood Kim's lyrics until now. And if they hurt me..I get it now. gigi is older so maybe she's ''done it'' more. Sex would hurt for a first timer like Kim.

[@EzraEel05]

That is VERY TRUE!

[@angieandwallace]

Beautiful! Thankyou for posting the Original Cast - so amazing!!

[@rowelmerez7792]

... such amazing lyrics

[@pinoicentaur74]

lea salonga and isay alvarez

I love this song

[@emenpee]

Amazingly beautiful...!!!!

[@GabrielaCoro]

Goosebumps

[@saymyname218]

Beautiful

[@krystalharwood4126]

I feel bad for Kim. she loved Chris first, then gets pushed aside by Ellen. Then Chris watches Kim prepare for her wedding, to her childhood friend who is soooo jealous of her loving Chris....what a vicious circle!

[@andrewnaral8792]

Nope... Chris never watch Kim marrying thuy... Kim kills thuy because he intend the love child(tam) of Kim and Chris.. as she swear to Tam, she will have his father thus chris move on then ..... listen to the finale

[@gregstern8763]

It's a very tragic story.

[@justanotherbohemian3827]

Am I the only one who actually felt bad for Thuy? Except for the fact that he tried to kill a child of course...

[@clairegrant1667]

Hey she kind of sounds like Mulan

[@williammeran1348]

Claire Grant Lea salonga is mulan's singing voice

[@obsessivehamiltrash1715]

baka yaro She’s also Jasmine’s singing voice

[@Lightemblem77]

Einfach n klasse song !!

[@belindacourtney4879]

I remember singing this in choir🎶🎤🎶

[@akoako3003]

With all due respect and total objectivity, Rachel-Ann Go's rendition is more powerful. One of the rare times a new performer beats the original. Check Rachel's live duet with Lea in the 25th Gala Anniv posted in youtube.

[@andrewnaral8792]

Rachelle's rendition is different. her portrayal add an anger to the character by belting the song and heavy drop. izay's version is raw and pitiful than rachelle's. they both did a good job for this small role character.

[@tomgallowitz4464]

Plus the lyric changes dictate the direction the song takes in each production.

[@lm-bv1rg]

Ako Ako Well, you're right Rachelle is more powerful, but that doesn't mean she's better. In this case, it's really a matter of taste because they have very differnt voices and interpretations of the character. Rachelle is angry and upset, Isay seems more longing and hopeful.

[@demysmit4078]

In the Dutch recording the new one Gigi is belting in sadness and anger, but in this one even tho the singer isn't betling it gives me the same sad feeling of a woman wanting to get out of there.

[@carolynthurner2486]

You and i love this song makes birds sing

[@tinaloye2014]

THIS IS SO SAD!!!! :(

[@garysilberman11]

Thank you so much..she is the greatest i have heard.....cant seem to find a photo of this singer..strange..or any footage?

[@efraimtamorvevo470]

The original cast of miss saigon is Lea salonga This one is second miss saigon batch

[@allfodatmusic2630]

EfraimTamor VEVO but lea salonga sings in this! did you not hear her? this song is a DUET! she doesnt sing till half of the video goes by...........

[@Gobble-zc3kc]

EfraimTamor VEVO this is the London original cast, waaaaaay before lea salonga

[@Gobble-zc3kc]

Matthew Matousek oh yes of course! I realise this now but I had lea salonga confused with Rachelle Ann Go!

[@Scorpiogirl-y9j]

The caption says Original Miss Saigon West- End Cast. Lea is the original and first Kim. So this is Gigi and Kim, Isay Alvarez and Lea.

[@Girl-rj3qe]

@@Gobble-zc3kcLea is included in the original west end cast

[@lc1715]

Why wouldn't you credit the singers in the info section? It's disrespectful.

pls tell me the chords.

[@carlerm02]

thats not ellen. its gigi

[@Xxxx20xx]

I think this is Isay Alvarez and Joanna Ampil and not Lea Salonga.

[@joshhickeysmoviereviews]

This fits Harley Quinn. She wants a real life and family with Joker. But Joker’s an abusive psycho, so she makes a movie in her mind about her perfect life with him.

[@neilcabudoc4841]

That's Isay Alvarez. She's not the original Gigi.

[@jaihjazzgarcia3107]

Neil C. Isay Alvarez was the first ever Gigi.. She’s the original. First than Marina Chapa of Broadway.

[@tupepangan8462]

Please do your research Neil C.

[@bubblybelle555]

it’s not ellen- it’s gigi!

[@georgestrum3478]

Was not my favorite show. Sorry.

[@H1delta]

Your apology is not necessary. I'm sure there others that are not fans of this musical. FTR, what shows did/do you like?

[@gmwoodworth]

Isay Alvarez beats Lea Salonga by a mile! What a gorgeous, rich-sounding voice!

[@H1delta]

It's your opinion and I won't disagree with you but to state that Isay beats Lea by a mile is a bit much. There is no better singer, man or woman, in any Miss Saigon production than Lea. All you have to do is ask Claude Michelle-Schoenberg. Listen to her sing this song by herself with Claude accompanying her on the piano during her audition in Manila. To me, it's still the best version of this song. FTR, I think Isay was the best Gigi. Peace...

[@tomgallowitz4464]

Lea is in a class by herself and for Gigi, it's tie between Isay and Rachelle Ann Go.

[@dermidtabanao3357]

+Sabrina Jones Yes, if we speak of the richness of the voice, Isay Alvarez' voice is a lot better, Lea's voice is just perfect for her role as a young country girl while isay is a seasoned voice.

[@kr-ir5ll]

Isay has an adult voice . Lea was 17 years old here still a teenager .

[@H1delta]

Lea was a teenager but she was 18 when the show premiered.
