Miss Saigon..the making pt.3

[@pallafox]

This is how it was back then for multicultural musicals. It was more raw, actors came from different regions in the world with different theater experiences, some didn't have any. It was more thrilling and profitable for producers. It's extremely different at present. The heart and soul for each production is not the same as today's musicals.

Lea was the greatest of all filipinos that was showed abroad. Amazing talent, very articulate. I think she deserve a highest honor in the 🇵🇭 at a young age she put Philippines on the map of broadway. We are proud of you Lea.

[@TheBiancanhicole]

I couldn't agree more❤ We're so proud of you Lea Salonga🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Too bad there isn't a DVD record of the entire musical with Lea as the Kim..that would have been such a jewel. And it would be so wonderful to show it to kids of today who were not yet born at the time

Such a hard work for all of them. From audition to rehearsal to real performance.

[@kidrn4u]

Mabuhay, Repertory Philippines! They were all under the tutelage of that wonderful production company.

[@symph2000]

Repertory Philippines has always been world class!

[@robr8213]

One of the most successful musicals of all time.

[@justanotherbohemian3827]

Now THIS is hard work. They had so much to arrange: the scenery, the moves on stage, the music and orchestration, the acting. But I would feel lucky as hell if I was one of the girls and had to attend all these rehearsals and maybe get exhausted after them, but I would also talk to the cast guys, I would work with them and get to know them, collaborate for something beautiful. That's how beautiful things are done. If only this was a world where talent and not acquaintances could provide you with such an experience. I don't say that I am a super-talented singer, but I have a certain....er...aptitude.

[@angeljayempenado557]

I only realize now that miss Saigon is inspired from Madame but of Giacomo Puccini and all the staff really work hard in here..it's beautiful the way they plan and organized the play..

[@snocelot4lyfe]

Fun fact: Jon Jon Briones, the current Engineer, was in the original(this!) cast of Miss Saigon :O

Wow thanks for sharing! Seems like hard work with all those instructions and dancing and making sure things are perfect

[@iam_cherlyn6007]

This story of Ms Saigon actually happened also in real life of a Filipina,, and i know Ms Leah gave her best since she is familiar with this kind of story. Her IQ is beyond compare. You cannot be singing a song in a play without understanding emotion and delivery. English proficiency and familiarity helps her and her talent completed the whole package. SHE IS LEAH SALONGA, no one can be like her. I am thankful for carrying the whole country and not just the flag.

I just fall in love and cried yesterday while watching Miss Saigon here in youtube 😭 I got intrigued first. Then i searched for the story summary then I cried like as if I read a novel.. Then watched it (the first version- Lea. But Chris was played by Will Chase) Thank you for filming this production. I was born 1989 😂😂😂 Didn't know that i will fall in love with this after 29 years.. Beautiful story. Beautiful people.. And this is irreplaceable 💖

[@gail3348]

where did you watch the full origjnal version?😭

[@nenitanoce1379]

Thank you for sharing this videos. I did not see the show but watching this videos makes feel that i hope there is a cd of the original. Thanks again

[@Girl-rj3qe]

This cast combines people of various shows I love from around the world. Simon Bowman, Keith Burns and Glyn Kerslake from Les Miserables; Jonathan Pryce from The Crown and Pirates of the Caribbean; Claire Moore the original Alternate Christine of Sarah Brightman in Phantom of the Opera; Pinky Amador who was in 2005 Encantadia (Mark Herras’s mom there); Isay Alvarez and Robert Sena of Pulang Araw; Jenine Desiderio the mom of Janella Salvador; Jonjon Briones who will act with Liza Soberano in Patron Saints of Nothing movie; and of course Lea Salonga.

[@JacobitoBello27]

I did not know Pinky Amador was part of the Miss Saigon production.

It's Claire Moore!!! :) Original Ellen and the original understudy of Christine in Phantom of the Opera.

[@robinkrieger8003]

She was my favorite Ellen....

[@Girl-rj3qe]

She’s so talented, to be able to be Christine and Ellen. I feel those two roles have different vocal ranges, so she feels really versatile

@@MS-df2fk where did you see him being "rude" to his dresser? I saw a video of Miss Saigon, where the cast is getting ready for the opening night. The actor, Peter Polycarpou, John, is having his microphone fixed to his head. That is the only situation that I have seen when someone has appeared to be a bit impatient. A few nerves are normal, I would have thought, it's opening night. A lot depends on everything going right.Sometimes tension spills over. Peter and Simon look similar to each other. It is Peter having his head mic fixed, not Simon. Diva???
