Miss Saigon on RaleighBroadwayWorld.com!

MISS SAIGON Flies Into Raleigh Memorial Auditorium March 21

North Carolina Theatre and Progress Energy are thrilled to present Miss Saigon, the classic love story of our time based on Puccini’s opera, Madame Butterfly. The show will run Saturday, March 21st through Sunday, March 29th in Raleigh Memorial Auditorium at the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts.

From the creators of the Broadway smash-hit Les Miserables comes a story of love, loss and sacrifice during the fall of Saigon. The story of Miss Saigon centers on the romance between a strong-willed Vietnamese woman, Kim, and an American soldier, Chris, during the Vietnam War. The Chicago Sun-Times raves “Miss Saigon – the musical epic. Grand in ambition, lushly melodic, extravagant in emotion, formidable in stagecraft, consistently fascinating.”

Independent Weekly Review of Phantom

By Zack Smith

For the record, Phantom, N.C. Theatre's musical adaptation of Gaston Leroux novel currently playing at Memorial Auditorium, is not the Andrew Lloyd Webber version whose tunes are constantly covered by aspiring singers and elevator-music companies. It's a different version, developed before Webber's, with music and lyrics by Maury Yeston and a book by Arthur Kopit, author of Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mama's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' So Sad. It plays frequently around the world and was made into a 1990 NBC miniseries you can find on YouTube. While this version features forgettable music compared to Webber's bombastic ballads, it boasts a far stronger, more dramatic story that strikes a deep emotional chord.
