I am a prostitute in Detroit. "The movie in my mind" resignates well with me. I've also seen "Miss Saigon" on Broadway and I thank you for this gem.

So when is the film version finally being made? Miss Saigon could be a wonderful film! I hope they will shoot it with as many Vietnamese actors/actresses as possible to make it realistic. Maybe they could shoot in Vietnam itself too some scenes.

The Vietnamese government will never approve it to be honest, the play pretty much piss off every Vietnamese (both diasporic and local) who have come to be awared of it existence

YASSS PLEASE!!!

Thank you for making this.

Have they ever found who the girl and her mother were on that photo? Wouldn't it be humane to try to locate them and re-unify them again (if possible)?

They have never found either of them. They have tried and had hoped but never did.

PLEASE bring the show back to Broadway !

I have now booken the tickets for Miss Saigon 25th Anniversary Performance at the Vue Cinema in Scunthorpe on Sunday the 16th of October and I will be going to see it with my mum and I am sure that we will both enjoy seeing it

I would love to find my children's grandparents, aunts and uncles from North Vietnam.

I know a Vietnamese-Chinese boy, 5 siblings, well educated and very good jobs in NY. Possible in Vietnam? He is 42 year old, about the time the war ended they came as refugees.

I really don’t like how they put Ho Chi Minh and the Kim in the same picture and said that “they” are Communist. I mean Ho Chi Minh was but he wasn’t a dictator (and no, I’m not brainwashed)

heartbreaking.

thanks to social media, she can now see her daughter

did they ever find the people in the photo?

It's funny how this show was inspired by a fucken picture, yet they don't ever cast a Vietnamese person to star the role... I wonder why?

The answer you're looking for is quite simple. They've yet to find a Vietnamese woman who can both sing and act the demanding role of Kim. They've held auditions in Vietnam and in other Asian countries for decades and have found most of the talent for their numerous worldwide productions in the Philippines.

@MrAllmightyCornholioz

@@SoulShines4U HAHA okay, by that logic let's cast Kim as a black woman then because there are more black female singers than Filipino female singers. I mean SURELY you can't find Viet singers are are able to retell the story of their parents with better connection and those willing to have a career in acting are just as passionate as non-Viets casting in a role. So why not hire someone domestically? Oh wait! We have Viets in America too!

@@MrAllmightyCornholioz - Don't you think that if the casting agents had ever found a Vietnamese woman who could sing the vocally demanding role of Kim for 8 shows a week they would have cast her already? You're looking for some big casting conspiracy against the Vietnamese and are dead set on finding one. Good luck with that. 🙄 The fact of the matter is that if the creative team behind Miss Saigon ever found a Vietnamese woman to play the part of Kim they'd scream it from the rooftops because it'd be a public relations dream come true and they could probably milk it for a ton of money in sales off the publicity. But yeah, I'm sure they'd rather shoot themselves in the foot and reject any and all Vietnamese women because secretly they are racist and don't want any Vietnamese people whatsoever in their show that's set in Vietnam. Riiight... 🙄

To deny what been happening to the Vietnam war was like denying the execution of 6 million Jews by the Nazis.

they talk all about the history abd how they had to study it but never visited vietnam to research or maybe find a lead. they pass it up but use it as they "inspiration"? my butt.
