Tickets available for Miss Saigon
|
"We began getting calls for tickets for Miss Saigon last spring,” states Mark Mannisto, executive director of Theatre Cambrian. "Audiences have been waiting to see this for a long time.” Miss Saigon is a classic love story brought up-to-date in one of the most stunning theatrical spectacles of all time. In Miss Saigon, Alain Boublil and Claude-Michael Schönberg (the creators of Les Misérables), along with Richard Maltby, Jr., bring Puccini's Madame Butterfly to the modern world in a moving testament to the 28human spirit and a scathing indictment of the tragedies of war. In the turmoil of the Vietnam War, an American soldier and a Vietnamese girl fall in love, only to be separated during the fall of Saigon. Their struggles to find each other over the ensuing years ends in tragedy for her and a fighting chance for the child he never knew he had. An international sensation, Miss Saigon is an epic, daring pop opera that is universal in its emotional power even as it deals with controversial, contemporary issues. Its sung-through pop-inflected score gives a multi-ethnic cast of strong pop singers an opportunity to shine, in showstopping numbers like I Still Believe, Why God Why? and The American Dream. Raw and uncompromising, Miss Saigon is an intensely personal story of the losses we suffer and the sacrifices we make in a world gone mad. Miss Saigon runs from May 12 to 28 at Theatre Cambrian (except Monday). Tickets cost $28 for adults, $22 for student and seniors and $17 for children 13 and under. Tickets for all of the productions may be purchased at the Theatre Cambrian office located at 40 Eyre St. or by calling 705.524.7317.
