What to know about Miss Saigon in Manila:

This play has special meaning for the local theater scene as Lea Salonga once played heroine Kim. A few more Filipinos followed in the later productions of the stage musical: Jon Jon Briones, Joanna Ampil, and of course, Rachelle Ann Go, who is also Eliza in Hamilton.

Miss Saigon has been staged in 32 countries since it premiered in London’s West End Theatre in 1989.

The new production of Miss Saigon is directed by Laurence Connor, with musical staging by Bob Avian and additional choreography by Geoffrey Garratt.
