Miss Saigon

The Benedum Center presents an epic love story with the U.S. touring production of Miss Saigon. Set during the last days of the Vietnam War, the musical follows a young Vietnamese woman determined to reunite with an American G.I. who unknowingly fathered her son. While the show, which first premiered in 1989, has garnered criticism in the past for a variety of reasons — including using yellowface — it’s worth seeing if the latest tour has become more culturally sensitive.
