I remember watching this first time round. When Lea Salonga started singing I got goose bumps. It's fascinating to see behind-the-scenes footage of a show being put together. Worth every penny, and revived a few memories for me as well.

Good but not great. 31 May 2010
If you are a fan of Miss Saigon then worth buying but the DVD does look a bit dated now. I would like to have seen more extracts from the show with less of the casting.
Hopefully Miss Saigon will return to the theatres soon.

This made-for-television documentary deals with the creation of the London production. Showing creator discussions, auditions, rehearsals and opening night, it offers an entertaining look at the stresses involved in putting on a show, especially one of such grand scale. It would've been nice to see far more actual performance footage, but this is worthwhile for fans of the show or those interested in what hellishness is involved in putting together a musical. Even those who tend to say "I don't do musicals" can get an insight into how much work goes into them.

Making of Miss Saigon
Worth watching for fans of the musical. The quality is not up to movie standard but ok for this documentary style program.

The Heat is on for Miss Saigon
I remember seeing the original transmission of this DVD on ITV which made me a fan of this particular musical. I have seen it several times and never fail to be moved by it.

Having seen Miss Saigon at the Theatre, I wanted a DVD of it. Problem is there isnt one. So I bought this instead. Its the story leading up the first night of the production. Read more

Miss Saigon
Was actually looking for the DVD on the play. Was a bit disappointed that it was only on how it was produced, but believe that there is no DVD on the whole play
