Love sharing these links for those not able to see these performances, listen and learn more behind the scenes:

Miss Saigon – a great revival of a very touching story
I have to include this link to one of my favorite musicals which originally opened in 1989 with Lea Salonga. This Cameron Mackintosh production was revived again in London and went on to Broadway after 25 years with Eva Nobelzada as the new Kim and has continued on world tours.  It’s the tragic love story of Kim, orphaned after her village is bombed, and who falls in love with an American GI hoping for a better life, but gets left behind after the Fall of Saigon. It’s a story of the cruelty of war which tears mankind apart, families scattered, children abandoned and the sacrifice made by women. A story of many other real Kim’s and victims of all sides in the tragedy of war.
The beautiful music by Claude-Michel Schonberg and Alain Boubil sets the tone with an amazing cast.
