Witness the evolution of this monumental production from its inception in the sumptuous hills of Provence to its glamorous London debut on a fascinating insider's voyage into the world of the theater. Under the exacting leadership of famed Broadway producer Cameron Mackintosh (The Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Les Misérables) the artistic forces behind the Tony Award®-winning show circle the globe in search of the perfect Miss Saigon. After auditioning thousands of girls in NewYork, Hollywood and Honolulu, they land in Manila where they finally find Lea Salonga whose angelic voice sends a rush of goosebumps--and relief--through the room. Acclaimed stage director Nicholas Hytner invites the camera to peer into the depths of the creative process as the orchestra builds, performances soar and the players hurtle toward the opening night that will determine their destinies. DVD Features: Interactive Menus; Scene Selection Reader Reviews This is a rare and magical look at the making of a musical. To actually see Lea Salonga hearing for the first time, and learning the lyrics to songs that she will eventually win a Tony Award for performing is brilliant. From finishing the songs and musical arrangements to the set design and even the conceptual process that went into creating the poster. This is a must see for any theatre lover.
