Miss Saigon is one of my favorite musicals. This unbelievable heart-breaking musical is about a Vietnamese girl, Kim, who falls in love with an American GI, Chris, the night before Saigon falls during the Vietnam war. Based loosely off of Madame Butterfly, Claude-Michel Sconberg and Alain Boubil wrote the musical after seeing this photograph:
A mother sending her child to America to meet her GI father they never met before in order to live out the "American Dream." The music is so haunting, and the ending will leave you sobbing. Not to mention, my wedding song is in the show haha.
"The Last Night of the World", Miss Saigon
