Miss Saigon (Original 1989 London Cast) [CAST RECORDING] OGG Q7. EAC
It's probably best known for raising the stakes for 1980s blockbuster shows by
landing a helicopter on stage, but Miss Saigon is also a good show with good
music. As a follow-up to their international smash Les Mis?rables, Alain Boublil
and Claude-Michel Sch?nberg (with an assist from Richard Maltby Jr.) adapted the
tale of Madame Butterfly to the Vietnam War, realized here by the original 1989
London cast. While it may seem overheated at times, the despair and passion fit
the tragic story, and Sch?nberg's pop-flavored style receives its most
appropriate setting. Leading the cast are Jonathan Pryce as the Engineer (a
Eurasian character whose casting generated some controversy when the producers
wanted to have Pryce, a Caucasian, reprise the role on Broadway), Lea Salonga
(in her first major role) as the young Vietnamese bride, Simon Bowman as her
lover, and Claire Moore as his American wife (and a young Ruthie Henshall as one
of the sweaty bargirls). The songs include the bawdy opener "The Heat Is on in
Saigon," "The Movie in My Mind," "Why God Why," the romantic duet "The Last
Night of the World," the female duet "I Still Believe," the male chorus number
"Bui-Doi," and the Engineer's mocking "The American Dream." The booklet includes
photographs and full lyrics. It's also available in a 58-minute highlights
version. --David Horiuchi
