What Miss Saigon is about:
Miss Saigon is a musical that premiered in 1989, with music by Claude-Michel Schönberg and lyrics by Alain Boublil, who also wrote the musical's book along with Richard Maltby Jr. The musical is based on Giacomo Puccini's opera Madame Butterfly and is set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War.
The story revolves around a young Vietnamese woman named Kim, who works in a bar called Dreamland in Saigon during the Vietnam War. She meets and falls in love with an American GI named Chris. However, their love is cut short by the fall of Saigon in 1975, which forces them to separate abruptly.
