Miss Saigon

So for my 21st birthday, my wonderful Mummy took me to The Ritz for some sophisticated afternoon tea and also to see Miss Saigon which I have to say has topped my ultimate favourite musical: Phantom of the Opera as it was utterly amazing. 

It is held at the Prince Edward theatre in London West End with a whole new cast and an 18 year old who plays the main girl Kim! For just 18 years old and her first ever debut on a west end stage, Eva Nobelzada is phenomenal. 

Having performed many Miss Saigon songs at my University's Musical Theatre Society, I never actually knew what the story was about or listened to all the songs thoroughly, apart from the ones we performed but having watched the show, I must say that all the songs were really well written and sounded so nice. I thought it would be a musical with a lot of dialogue and the occasional song thrown in but it wasn't, in fact the whole show was presented through music and song, which I think a musical should be and works better that way as for me, it makes it more enjoyable!

It's a very touching performance as well as the story line. I did have a few tears in my eyes during some parts of it but I don't usually cry very easily, so this show must be good to bring a tear to my eye.

I really do recommend anyone who likes musicals to go watch this show and to those especially who are not keen on musicals as this will change your mind because it was so so good. It even had a helicopter!
