Miss Saigon in Praha

I've long wanted to watch musicals that I'm familiar with such as Les Miserables and Miss Saigon. I missed Miss Saigon when they staged it in Manila so I'm thinking why not watch the local version here in Praha? Problem is, I don't know if I'd be satisfied with the performance. I wont be satisfied if it wont be no less than Lea Salonga performing as Kim anyway so maybe I shouldn't bother.

Stumbled on these vids after a series of relentless YouTube searching for a different one. This was what I missed in Manila-- Lea performing as Kim with mostly the orig cast of MS minus, of course, Jonathan Pryce as the Engineer....




Totally mind-blowing performance! Robert Sena as Thuy was phonomenal and Lea... well, she earned a Tony for this so I need not say more. But for those who would like to catch MS in Praha, here's when and where it's at:
