The Plus Ones were thrilled to be invited along to the opening night of Miss Saigon, at Her Majesty’s Theatre in Melbourne. The show makes its triumphant return 16 years after it was last performed on the same stage.
In a mesmerising fusion of powerful storytelling, breathtaking performances, and awe-inspiring production design, Miss Saigon delivers an emotional punch that resonates long after the curtains fall.
Set against the backdrop of war-torn Vietnam, this timeless tale of love and sacrifice comes to life in a production that is nothing short of spectacular.
When the lights dim, the audience is transported to the chaotic streets of Saigon. The set design is a triumph, seamlessly transitioning from seedy bars to the haunting beauty of the countryside. The attention to detail is impeccable, capturing the essence of the era and immersing the audience in the heart-wrenching narrative.
The cast’s performances are nothing less than extraordinary. Sean Miley Moore, in the role of The Engineer, steals the show on numerous occasions, but is surrounded by the equally captivating Abigail Adriano (Kim).
The chemistry between the cast is palpable, especially during the show-stopping musical numbers that send chills down your spine.
In addition to the stellar performances, the choreography is both visually stunning and emotionally charged, adding layers of depth to the characters’ journeys. The ensemble cast’s synchronisation and energy are commendable, creating visually captivating dance sequences that enhance the overall theatrical experience.
This production of Miss Saigon is a triumph on every level. Its compelling storytelling, exceptional performances, and breathtaking production design make it a must-see theatrical experience.
As the final notes echo in your ears and the curtain falls, you’ll find yourself profoundly moved by this poignant tale of love and the human spirit.
Miss Saigon is playing Her Majesty’s Theatre, Melbourne, until 16 December. Tickets via Ticketek.
