Miss Saigon has closed but I’m writing this anyway. The singing was excellent, The choreography was very exciting and refreshingly diverse. The use of sound effects mixed with live action in front of a projector screen backdrop was brilliant. The acting by the lead and supporting roles were outstanding and often heartbreaking. The story was in itself a compelling bitter sweet tale not easily rivaled. The subject of love in the midst of war is not easliy told in the context of acting/song and dance without seeming trite but when it is all done well as it was here it becomes spell binding. It was a wonderful play. I look forward to many others of this caliber.
The leads in Miss Saigon were very good. The young lady playing Kim was excellent! There were two male voices that were weak, one of which I could barely hear. There were some lag times between scenes. All in all, the production was good.
This is probably the very best production the Crighton Players have done! I encourage everyone to see this show!
Saw the play today and would recommend it highly. The singing is excellent and the staging is fine.
I attended the August 21st performance of Ms. Saigon. A power surge played havoc with the lights, music, and sound effects. The players handled the disruptions and glitches with utmost professionalism.
I had not seen a production by the Crighton Players. I was very impressed with the high quality of the singing and staging. I don’t think I will miss any future performances.
