The creators of Les Miserables have taken the plot of the opera Madame Butterfly and set it in the closing days of the Vietnam War. The star-crossed lovers are Chris, an American serviceman, and Kim, a Vietnamese girl with whom Chris falls in love. The brief love affair is torn apart by the war, leaving Kim with a son by Chris. Chris, thinking Kim dead, returns to America and marries Ellen. When he learns that Kim is alive and has a son by him, he and Ellen return to Vietnam as the war reaches its final calamitous days. Chris and Kim find each other, but they are helpless to prevent the inevitable tragedy that the war and circumstances bring down on them. Additional Information: Children in grades K-12 are half price on Mondays and Tuesdays. Tickets go on sale April 26. Due to popular demand, an extra matinee performance of Miss Saigon has been added on Wednesday, May 13th, 2009.

      Having been born in Vietnam and coming here when I was 3 years old, I never experienced the tragedies and terrors of the Vietnam War. This play showed me a story of a beautiful and strong willed girl Kim who experienced those great hardships, and despite it all she became a mother whose heart is filled with hope and love for life. Her sacrifice and joy are strongly expressed in the music and songs she sings. This musical is the most incredible production I have ever seen; bringing together all sensations of happiness, fear, sadness, anger, regrets, and peace right into your heart. I sat in the very front seat and saw all the detailed facial expression which made it a more unforgettable story. Go see it! Collapse

      This was a really strong production in every aspect. Shannon Tyo was a near perfect Kim. Tyo herself is fresh out of college and she really brought a genuine innocence to Kim. All other principle leads were strong as well, little to no complaints. Each character really had a "moment" on that stage. There's nothing more powerful than a performer having an honest moment in front of an audience. The sets are dazzling. Pioneer Theatre Company never fails to impress me. This production goes out of its way and does everything it can to assure you get what you paid for. Collapse

      I was blown away by all of the performers. I watched Miss Saigon many years ago in New York and I never thought a performance in Utah was going to compare to NY. But wow, was I wrong.... Expand

      The only reason I give this four stars is because it's not really the best *story* out there but PMT's production is top notch! The actors are stellar. I saw this opening night and walked away -well,... Expand

      The only reason I give this four stars is because it's not really the best *story* out there but PMT's production is top notch! The actors are stellar. I saw this opening night and walked away -well, choked up- but stunned at what I had seen on stage. The actor playing Engineer was amazing and according to his bio is on the original B'way cast recording in this role! He's very funny in the sleazy way he is supposed to be. The lovers sound amazing. The Kim fits the part in looks and in voice, and the Chris' songs are so soulful. But my favorite was Chris' buddy in the show (can't remember his name) - he was on B'way in Rent and absolutely steals the show in this production everytime he is on stage. I loved it. Collapse
