What is the climax in 'Miss Saigon'?

Answer 1

My guess is it is when the big helicopter swoops down with intense chopper noise and rescues the people and flies 'em away. I say that because I saw the show maybe 15 or 20 years ago on Broadway and for the life of me, that's all I remember of it now.

Answer 2

Today's world is full of REMAKES; this is the copycat generation. Films, Plays, etc. such as Bewitched, Kojack, Wild Wild West, etc., supposedly new automobiles such as the Mustang, Camero, Chargers, etc., rock and roll music on nearly all television commercials, etc., are all COPIES from the 1960's.

Miss Saigon is the same thing, it is the saga of the never ending love story; written post Vietnam War, a love story based upon the short story "Madame Butterfly" first published in 1898 by Long, and later an Opera by Piccuni which first played in 1905. This is NOT to say that the play "Miss Saigon" wasn't a hit, it was well received by audiences...as was Madame Butterfly; but human nature being what it is, most people don't know that like the movies, cars, and music listed above, it's simply another remake. And most likely, people don't really care, it they're copies or not.
