Mirai Nagasu of the USA is using a medley from MISS SAIGON for her long program skate (tonight, for the team competition, but she'll do it again next week for the ladies' individuals).

Lea Salonga, Tony-winning star of ''Miss Saigon,'' tweeted to the Japanese-American skater:

''Now watching @mirai_nagasu skating to the music of Miss Saigon, and I HAVE NO CHILL!!!!!!!!! Mirai, you are STUNNING!!!'''

Bari Weiss, an op-ed writer for the N.Y. Times, in praising Nagasu, tweeted: ''Immigrants: They get the job done.''

Weiss obviously was quoting from ''Hamilton.'' Only problem: Nagasu's not an immigrant. She was born in Southern California. Oops!

I'm pretty sure someone else skated to an all-orchestra version of Unlike Lovers.

Here's video of Nagasu doing the ''Miss Saigon'' medley at the recent U.S. nationals (even tho' she two-footed her triple axel then).

The heat was on in Pyeongchang, and she was really on fire. Winning a medal must've been like ''The American Dream.''
