Miss Saigon Libretto for an essay#1
Posted: 3/5/17 at 7:17pm

I'm writing a major paper on Miss Saigon at school and was wondering where I could find the libretto legally. I've contacted MTI multiple times about letting me borrow/buy the libretto from them but they haven't responded so I am guessing that they can't permit it. I've looked online and can't find anything. It is important that I get it legally so that I can cite the source.

If I remember correctly the Original London Cast Recording or the Complete Recording came with a Libretto Booklet.

I also remember an oversize hardbound edition.

Look it up on www.abebooks.com and see if there are some used copies out there.

Then add abebooks.com to your favorites list because when you need a book check that site even before Amazon.

Edit: I'm mistaken. The book I am thinking of does not contain the script. From the description it sounds like a history of the show, but not the script.

On the other hand it could be a source in writing the actual paper. The copies are cheap--under $4 and no shipping for some.
