Exactly. People like this reviewer are completely uninformed about this show. It's bad enough that she has the wrong assumption that Kim kills herself over Chris in the first place, but even worse that she uses it to slander the show, by literally saying "Kim's death is the only possible ending for the crime of mixed-race copulation", as if the writers think that mixed-race copulation is a crime in any way.

I think it is very important that people r

People are confusing the show's plot/story with opinions of audiences that have race-focused views and preferences.

Of course a character like Thuy disapproves of Kim and Chris' mixed race copulation. But to say the show is wrong because of this, or because Kim is not a feminist, or to say in a review that Kim's death "is the only possible ending for the crime of mixed-race copulation" is utterly ridiculous.

People have the right to prefer

What's really problematic is when people demand that certain characters can not be played by certain races, but only noble, strong characters that are always on a pedestal. Equality starts where this ends.

Also, indeed, Kim's death has nothing to do with mixed race copulation, so it is extremely troubling that the reviewer makes this remark: "it’s the only possible ending for the crime of mixed-race copulation". Nobody has ever said that they have

This idea that Vietnamese womenand men can be played by anyone from any Asian country irritates a lot of Asians, in and out of the entertainment industry. (Neither of the Kims opoening the show and its revival were Vietnamese.) "Flower Drum Song" was infamously cast in the 1950s with Japanese actors playing Chinese and Chin

Theatres in Europe are very classy and food and drinks are not allowed in the auditorium, only in the foyer. People usually dress well for a theatre visit. It is considered a special night out.

On Broadway, it's like going to the cinema, sneakers, sweaters, popcorn, drinks, ice cream, everything is allowed. Snacks are even sold in the auditorium itself.

Also, outside of the US it is common to have a few drinks after a show in the foyer and theatre bars. It is part of

Is there a video of her reaction to you schooling her on this?"

No video but I believe there were some tweets about it. She basically said "so disappointed", in my words, but I t

Whether she believes it or not, a recent tweet/retweet of hers makes it sound like she looks down on African Americans (something about how they're jealous of Africans), so that kind of makes me not want to see her play one of America's greatest icons.

CarlosAlberto said: "Erivo is a black woman playing a black woman. Where Erivo was born is irrelevant."

Exactly. These left wing separatists are often so programmed (raised) to think in groups, that even though she is a black woman playing a black woman, they don't know how fast to move on to the next group/box they can possibly find.

This group (race, nationality, sexuality, etc) thinking is the core of the problem. It's like they are scared to think

These left-wing separatists surely love some discrimination.

I wonder when they will be content. When every nationality, race and sexuality lives on their own island, with their own movies, their own awards, their own rules and their own privilleges?

Or is it when the group of choice has complete world domination? Playing the victim role works both ways. You can't use it to get what you want and then throw it overboard in the next situation, by denying other peo

I'm getting "Wild Things" and "Cruel Intentions" vibes from this. Strangely sexy power games and hot people doing things that are actually really out of line.

I know it's forbidden to say, but the sexual part of what they have been saying is something half of the population secretly fantasizes about (in either of the roles) but of course when there are lies, secret filmings, secret sharing, reputations, social issues, interests and jobs involve

I think that "creating a brand" is profitable, and shows are brands.

The filming of Miss Saigon in London was a very smart move, it is the ultimate promotion and it is slowly expanding the brand worldwide.

They have done this with Les Mis and Phantom before,  (concert version or the actual show such as Phantom in Royal albert hall) and these have expanded the brand and boosted ticked sales for the actual shows. It's recognition for audiences. Which ultima

I think the current Miss Saigon set is quite bad. It feels and looks like a pimped amateur production. I always cringe a little when I hear people say that it looks so raw and real now.

The original London version had a very filmic quality which really improved the moment/scene in terms of emotion/experience of their sung thoughts. For example, Last night of the world is a very intense moment for Chris and Kim, in their minds it's (maybe naively) better/more beautiful than real

I really wonder between which people these "inappropriate communications" were.

I mean, if it were communications of bad-mouthing one of the producers/directors to a third party, I can imagine that's not professional.

The other way around, if one of the directors/producers is being indiscrete about private encounters or anything private on personal apps, possibly sexual in nature, that indiscretion is unprofessional too.

I have seen people being fired from s
