Frank Rich – New York Times - 1991
For all that seems galling about "Miss Saigon" --
and for all that is indeed simplistic, derivative and, at odd instances,
laughable about it -- this musical is a gripping entertainment of the old
school…
Michael Billington - Guardian – 2014
So how does Boublil and Schonberg’s musical stand up 25
years after its premiere? In this new production by Laurence Connor, it
survives very well as a piece of musical storytelling and as a public
spectacle. It's not a show one loves, in the way one does Guys and Dolls or
Sweeney Todd, but I found myself watching it with a professional admiration.
And for the shows liveliest moment here's Jonathan Pryce as Thernandier... The Engineer singing the 11 o'clock number.
