The Fall of Saigon. A spectacular scene, and I’m not even showing the most amazing part. I don’t want to spoil the surprise, and it must be seen in person to be believed (hint, hint).

Last night I shot the final dress rehearsal for the Pioneer Theatre Guild’s production of Miss Saigon, which premiered tonight. You still have 4 more chances to see this ambitious and stunning production that left me breathless. My whole-hearted congratulations to the cast, crew, orchestra, and production team!

Mary Morgan, co-editor of the The Ann Arbor Chronicle, was also at the final dress rehearsal, and published her behind-the-scenes story this morning.

I’m going to let the images do the talking. But see my entry on the Miss Saigon publicity photos for more information about the show’s themes and content, emotional intensity, and whether it’s appropriate for young children.
