Based on Puccini's opera, Madame Butterfly, Miss Saigon revolves around the love story between Kim, a young Vietnamese woman, and Chris, a Marine guard at the U.S. Embassy. When Saigon falls and the old city disappears forever under the red banners and yellow stars of the Viet Cong, Chris--not knowing that Kim is pregnant--is forced to retreat. He returns home and eventually marries, but a few years later, he and his wife return to find Kim, who is now determined to make Chris take their son back to the United States.

Based on Puccini's opera, Madame Butterfly, this epic production centers on the romance between a strong-willed Vietnamese woman and an American soldier during the Vietnam War.
