Apologies for not posting a song of the day yesterday. I was at work from 10 in the morning till about 11 at night so there wasn't any time for updating the blog. But the one thing I did accomplish yesterday was talking to my friend who just got back from Japan who now has a callback for the role of Gigi in Miss Saigon! The show is being put on at the Drury Lane theater in Chicago in December. To celebrate her callback I am posting the character's song from the show - The Movie in My Mind. Miss Saigon is one of those productions I would love to have seen the original staging for. I saw a touring version of the show and a lot of the splendor had been cut out of it. I've heard the helicopter landing alone was worth a visit to Broadway back in the early 90's. I got to see a projected one... great. I'm not all about spectacle theater, but at times it can be very effective - Phantom of the Opera (a show i despise, but the Vegas production's staging is astounding) and Les Miserables being two great examples of this. I believe back in it's day Miss Saigon was another. Enjoy.
