The "Miss Saigon" company said they have been inspired by the enthusiasm and passion of Filipinos, who have been waiting with great anticipation for performances since the season was announced in October last year.

Leading up to the opening, the stars of the production shared their thoughts about the legacy of "Miss Saigon" with Filipinos.

"I know there have been many interpretations of Kim. I feel a sense of duty to do justice to my character and the story I tell. But also to be true to myself and honest about how I feel, how Kim would feel in that moment," said Abigail Adriano during the show's media event.

The "Miss Saigon" Asia Tour continues at The Theatre at Solaire with no further extensions beyond May 12 and extremely limited tickets. Tickets are available exclusively through TicketWorld, with best availability on mid-week performances.
