Miss Saigon
I was surfing YouTube last night, listening to some old songs, when I stumbled upon a series of videos about the making of the Broadway musical Miss Saigon. I watched everything and I remembered just how much I love Miss Saigon. I remember I even asked my dad’s boss to buy me the songbook when he went to London. Then I would listen to my Miss Saigon tapes and sing along to the whole musical. I also remember in college, Carl and I love to sing Sun and Moon and Last Night of the world. Carl has an amazing voice and he do second voice without any effort. I miss listening to my Miss Saigon tapes now. I might buy the cd when I get some spare money! Haha!
If I’d be given the chance, I’d love to watch the musical, but of course I’d love it if it were still the original cast. Nothing beats the original. And I would also love for them to make a movie of it, just like The Phantom of the Opera, which is another musical that I love!

I was able to watch the UK run of Miss Saigon featuring Ima Castro June of last year. Hinabol ko talaga yung last run sa Bristol kahit na kinailangan kong mag-overnight dun para lang makapanood.
Imagine, I was alone and yet I was crying a bucket. But I felt so proud being a Filipino that time because most of the people in the audience were foreigners and they surely loved the show. We gave it a standing ovation!
I’d love to buy the CD too! I’ll try to find the programme that I bought for GBP3.00. Kaloka ang presyo but it was all worth it!
