Miss Saigon

This summer, we saw the opera Madame Butterfly. Marina enjoyed it so I was looking forward to taking her to see Miss Saigon which is based on Madame Butterfly. Before going to see it we talked about the Vietnam War a bit so she would understand some of the background.

We left the house a bit early to make sure we had time to park. We didn’t have too much trouble. We took a few pictures outside the theatre and then went inside. We bought drinks and Marina wanted a snack. We had a good view from our seats and we were excited to see the show.

Miss Saigon was an emotional, intense show. Overall Marina liked it, but she was bored in a few parts. She was very impressed with the helicopter in the recreation of the fall of Saigon.

When the show was over, Marina was clearly exhausted. Fortunately we were able to get home quickly.
