Miss Saigon ~ The first taste of Saigon

Miss Saigon

IGNATIANS Musical Society this year is presenting the Brisbane Community Theatre Premiere of Miss Saigon from 23 September – 15 October.

Miss Saigon, based on Puccini’s famous opera Madama Butterfly, is set in 1975 in Vietnam and is the tragic love story of a troubled American G.I. and an orphaned Vietnamese woman, who in a world of death and despair manage to find comfort in each others’ arms as the Vietnam War spirals out of control. Their few days of love, which are cut short with the Fall of Saigon, set into motion a life-and-death chain of events.

Director: Kat Henry, Musical Director: Steven McKay, Choreographer: Ingrid Cameron

"The director Simone de Haas, co-musical directors Harmony Woollet and Edgar Chan, set designer

Craig Anderson, costume designer Sean Hoban are to be commended for the wonderful job that was

the show I saw on Friday night (25 Sept). ... The costumes were extremely

well done and it was obvious a lot of work had gone into the wardrobe."

"There is a freshness and edge to this new production that takes the company’s reputation to a new level....As well as the pathos and passion, there are lighter moments in Les Miserables. The scene with the prostitutes was hot and heavy with wandering hands and legs in the air – sometimes less is more..."

Opening night, September 18

Carmel Audsley of Perform Magazine

"I've seen Les Mis in London, Sydney, QPAC and this is the best I've seen"

"Please tell your cast this is the best show I've ever seen."

"You could put it on at QPAC."

"I've seen it at QPAC - this is great because you can see the actors emotion being so close to the stage"

"Can I get a DVD of the performance?"
