Miss Saigon: 25th Anniversary Performance [DVD]

Slightly disappointed that my copy was not a Blueray like everyone else’s seem to have been.While I do think that it’s well done, you really don’t get the feel of it being a theatrical production on stage. Yes the large chorus numbers show full stage shots but the rest are very much shot from onstage and meant more to be film like.The one thing I remember most about the original production, this one was directed and choreographed by the original choreographer, was there was often action happening around the scenes. It gave the feel that “Saigon never sleeps at night.” You don’t see that in this filming because the shots are often closeups with no idea of what is happening on the rest of the stage.I did like the modernizing of the show and it’s new design, even though you really couldn’t see the whole picture 98% of the production. But I’m bias as a set designer for theatre and know that everything from the set to lighthing of the whole stage sets the mood since you can’t always see the actors clearly in the theater.The one thing I was really unhappy with was the photo montages that were put over the overture and at the beginning of the nightmare. There are things happening onstage to get you into the show and the nightmare but they were completely left out because they inserted photos.Anyway, it’s still well worth the purchase price since you can’t really find it easily to own as your own copy.

Ordered this because my son loves the music from this musical. Read the reviews to make sure this would work on American DVD players. Reviews were great, so I ordered the product. THIS DOES NOT WORK IN U.S. PLAYERS! TERRIBLE! It does not indicate anywhere on the description that this is the case. Highly disappointed in this product. I would give Zero stars, but Amazon won't let me.

Finally, I was able to get a copy of this DVD and I was suprised to know that it has an additional disc which features the making of the Miss Saigon Revival

I would have preferred a Blu-ray copy

Do not order from these people. They are selling DVD's that will not play in the US. These are for the European or Asian market. Be very careful when you order this product from these people.

Unfortunately, I was not able to watch the dvd it wasn't the right region.

This DVD is useless because it is of a different reigon.I want a DVD that will play on my American purchased DVD player , or my money back ASAP

wont play

Justo lo que quería.

Schöne Erinnerung

Parfait. Excellente captation du spectacle

See and hear this extravaganza in your own home. Fantastic performance. Very good recording. I do prefer the original Lea Salonga recording on CD. I have both.This is the next best thing to seeing the musical live. Go get folks ! Get both !

Beware, you need an ALL ZONE DVD player (this copy is for Europe only). With that said, excellent production of one of the greatest musicals ever made.
