The Legendary Miss Saigon. The spectacular, sell-out 25th Anniversary Gala Performance of this acclaimed new production of the global stage sensation was described as “the most thrilling, soaring and emotionally stirring musical with magnificent performances” by the Daily Telegraph and “the greatest musical of all time” by the Daily Mail. The epic love story tells the tragic tale of young bar girl Kim, orphaned by war, who falls in love with American GI Chris – but their lives are torn apart by the fall of Saigon. The special gala finale also features appearances by the original cast including Jonathan Pryce and Lea Salonga.

I wish they had done this with Lea Salonga back then. What a smooth transition from stage to movie. Stage acting is totally different from film acting, and it was a good thing that the actors tamed the excessive movements and expressions. I wish they had retained the rotating gate applied on stage during the "Fall of Saigon" scene though. It would have added more effect and would have impressed the audience more given that this is actually a theater production captured on film. Other than that, what a powerhouse cast. What a great engineer find in Jon Jon Briones!

By far the most well filmed movie musical production out there. The cinematography and editing is incredible, and it makes the musical as engaging on film as it would be if you were watching it live on stage. Out of every movie I've ever seen in my life, this is the one of watched the most. Eva Noblezada is an incredible Kim, I've listened to her sing the soundtrack of this musical possibly 100 times, and I still have not found the words to stress just how insanely talented and compelling she is. (I personally enjoy her interpretation of the character and the songs better than Lea Salonga- which speaks volumes as Lea Salonga is a legendary performer). The musical will make you cry and laugh, and leacve you tempted to watch it again. Do yourself a favor and buy this movie.

I actually bought this exclusively for the finale original cast performance. It's really great to see them on stage with the new cast. The production and the performance are great. I wish they had done this with the original cast back then.
