Breakdown
Set during the final days before the American evacuation of Saigon in 1975, MISS SAIGON is a passionate and powerful story about an American G.I., Chris, and a young Vietnamese woman, Kim, who fall in love, just as their world is falling apart around them.
SEEKING:
THE ENGINEER:
THIS ROLE IS CAST – U-S & FUTURE REPLACEMENTS ONLY
VOCAL RANGE – HIGH BARITONE/TENOR TO TOP A FLAT. The sleazy but likeable owner of “Dreamland”. A pimp. Half-Vietnamese and half-French. A sly, manipulative animal, always looking to stay one step ahead and take advantage of the American occupation of Saigon. He sincerely believes he should have been born in the West – the land of free enterprise – where his entrepreneurial and commercial skills would be given free rein. Should have great ‘theatrical’ dexterity and almost feline physicality. Character is NON-CAUCASIAN
KIM:
THIS ROLE IS CAST – U-S & FUTURE REPLACEMENTS ONLY
17 years old; VOCAL RANGE – STRONG CHEST VOICE UP TO E, LOW TO G. Vietnamese. 17 years of age. Vulnerable and innocent.
CHRIS:
19-23 yrs. old; VOCAL RANGE – TENOR, SINGS TO G – TOP B IN FALSETTO. Young, good looking, American Marine. Actor must have excellent rock tenor voice.
ELLEN:
20-25 yrs. old; VOCAL RANGE – CHEST VOICE UP TO E. LOW TO G. American, middle-class wife of Chris.
JOHN:
20s-30s; VOCAL RANGE – TENOR TO TOP B FLAT. American Marine. Character is NON-CAUCASIAN; (THERE IS AN OFFER OUT ON THS ROLE)
THUY:
THIS ROLE IS CAST – U-S ONLY
20s; VOCAL RANGE – TOP B FLAT; A young, self-obsessed Vietnamese. Through a cultural wedding bond made by respective parents, he has been promised Kim’s hand in marriage. An implacable, totally vengeful character who sees life in his own single, simple dimension. Should instill enough fear that he remains in Kim’s consciousness to haunt her for the rest of her life.
