Hello Hello sa credits 12 ang bilang ko na original pinoy cast...Junix Inocian, Lyon Roque and Michael Williams. Junix later naging Engineer sya. Under study sya for that role. Si Michael Williams is under study same role ni Robert S, now he's a producer Eraserheads Huling El Bimbo play...then si Lyon Roque is a product of UP repertory co.

[@bryantpark88]

Add Bobby Martino and Miguel Diaz. From what I remember, there were a total of 16 Filipinos in the original London Cast.

Saw the original cast! Amazing!!

[@josefrootgum]

This is how you make a masterpiece. You combine all the best talents who love their craft. Work on their parts again, and again, and again. Put it all together in the way that is closest to perfection. Then do it all again the next day.

May 13, 2019 my first time to watch the making of miss saigon and it really makes me proud being Filipino because of Lea and the rest of Filipino artist in the original Miss Saigon. Wow.

1:25 Yes. I saw this in NY and there were men still sitting in their chairs after it was over crying. Saw it again in DC and witnessed the same. Very powerful.

[@marjomonreal9792]

My very istime watching Miss Saigon was in London June 2014, really blown away with genius team and even bawling my eyes out. And now June 2019 via youtube still doesnt get any better, what a masterpiece! 👌🏻

[@2872jasmin]

OMG! if i watch this in actual play,, geez! i can't imagine how it feels...every scene goes to my veins,,, so brilliant!

[@claudedesaulniers2300]

jazzbacz28 . it's now on broadway in NY and it will tour several cities in 2018. I saw it last week in NY and I think it's great. Maybe better than the original, except Leah is not there, but Eva Noblezada is very good also. Jon Jon as the engineer is also great in the roll.

[@MUSICSTATIONBAND]

curtain down, well deserved Standing Ovation, hard work and dedication and beauty all contributed to the success.

thank you for sharing this documentary. Was seeing here that most of the original members of Miss Saigon were from Philippines. Many thanks!

[@jess_or_jessica]

When the curtain went down & they all started jumping and celebrating, I got emotional. Not gonna lie.

[@ashgall8118]

1:25 I saw the show in London in June 2024. Was absolutely amazed, gob struck and couldn't believe how good a real stage show could be. It was my first time seeing a stage show. I, like many others had tears streaming down my face throughout the show. I still can't believe the effect this show has had on me after all these years. The acting, singing and production was perfection. IF I get to any city and this show is playing, I am definitely going to see it again and again.

[@dfs0805]

Sooo cute lea... British accent then she start talking tagalong with real filipino accent 0:37 heheh so love her

[@manchestertart5614]

So she spoke with a Welsh accent? 😉 or was it Scottish? Oh you mean she spoke with an English accent. There's no such thing as a British accent. There are a few countries that make up Great Britain.

[@Nunyabizn3ss]

@@manchestertart5614 English accent? Do you mean Cockney, Yorkshire, Scouse, et.al? You’re being conceited and overly pedantic. By your measure there is no American, German, or Russian accent. Just ridiculous.

[@armandocobarrubia7893]

Why most Filipinos always talk about accent. She talks like her own,she is professional & talented on her own she is an example of a Filipina grew up in a perfect way nurturing and a lovable sweet child that every parents can dream.Kudos to the parents ,they’re lucky and blessed.

[@GuardiLeStelle]

I heard that because Les Miz movie was so successful they are going to do the same with Miss Saigon! How amazing will that be!!!

[@mgc1022]

I have heard rumors of a film version. Apparently, Cameron had said he would look into a film adaptation if Les Mis did well in the box office (and of course it did). Watching this documentary makes me fall in love with this show and gain a whole new respect for the amazing talent that is Lea!! :)

[@PianoKwanMan]

The les mis film is 9 years old already?!?!

[@Kfjdjdjejddjjss]

[@lifediaries01]

Thank you so much for sharing this documentary! 😊 I've known for long about Ms. Lea Salonga being the Miss Saigon, i think since when I'm in my grade school days but this is the very first time I am able or have watched it. Thanks a lot! I enjoyed it so much. Truly grateful. 😊

[@glendiestraveldiary237]

Watched part 1-5. Have all the time because of home quarantine

[@gracebmd]

1985 or 1986- forgot the exact year this debut in West End. I still have the cassette recordings of the music which we have to content ourselves and play the story in our minds with what few pictures we can find. This is such a sad and disturbing story, I was in a state of melancholy for a while. I didn't want to listen but the hauntingly beautiful music kept drawing me to listen. It is sad, very sad when dreams of love and better future are dashed to pieces, and you are alone to cope as best you could where it seemed not a ray of hope was in sight. This play draws out every human emotion, even hope and happiness as fleeting as it was for Kim. And for every Kim out there, for Chris and all the other characters, too whose life we may identify as part of us, there is hope, a hope built and rooted in The Lord Jesus.

[@chenghungtsai9423]

i have the same feeling. the music and the story have been haunting me for years. I just went to West End to see the new production, it's a great remake but I just feel something is missing there. Kim is great, engineer is great too but I feel that Chris and Helen are not in the right condition... or in the right place. feeling a bit disapointted as I am a big fan for this piece. After seeing the video, I know now how difficult it is to put things together so the original production is indeed a miracle, that things were right and everything was just perfect.

Lea should have had the final bow here. She’s the lead after all.

[@TheSUPERdee]

Great work of art. Just a shame that they used yellow face at the time

[@sparklemotion1018]

Yes. Unusually for the time, people protested that decision, and it eventually led to better casting choices. Re: yellow-face, the Engineer is supposed to be bi-racial (Euro-French father, Vietnamese mother) and Pryce (a white guy) was phenomenal in the role, but they should have skipped the (offensive) "Asian-eye" prosthetics: if they were going to cast a white man, they should have left his eyes alone.

[@whatevergoesforme5129]

Not really, The Engineer was supposed to be Eurasian and not Asian. Look at beauty pageants and see how half white/half Asian looks like. They don't look Asian. Actually, Kim's son should not look Asian but also mixed having a white father.

[@whatevergoesforme5129]

@@sparklemotion1018 Many Caucasians are not exposed to half white half Asian look. I am exposed to it so I know that Eurasians and even Amerasians or Austrolasians etc have fairer skin, bigger eyes, and higher nose bridges. Sometimes it is not obvious they have Asian blood like that actor who was half Filipino and half white Jew--Rod Schneider.

[@amandatelling134]

Did Lea not get the final bow? That seems absurd!

[@Catiting33]

true, Jonathan Pryce did.

[@sparklemotion1018]

Pryce was an established British star at the time while Lea was "unknown," so he got top billing.. but Lea became an instant worldwide star when the West End production opened. When I saw the revival, I was amused to see that the child who played Tam came out at the end to bow with Jon Jon, so technically a kid got the final bow.

[@foxmulder864]

Yah I recently saw it in New York with Eva just before it closed and The Engineer got the last bow in that as well, it didn't really make sense to me:/
