| Miss Saigon is problematic and that can be discussed, but this review is a bit over the top in assigning such sinister INTENTIONS to the creators. I think some of the OUTCOMES are undeniably problematic, such as the nonsense instead of real Vietnamise, and the hard doubling down on the casting of Pryce ALONG with the yellowface make up. But I think, at least Boublil and Schonberg, had demonstrated depth in their interest in the telling of Les Miz, brimming with humanity and exploration of the human conidition, which was by no means a slam dunk even though we know it became wildly successful. And if you believe them, it was a photo of a child being torn from their mother that inspired them. Do people really think they cyncially thought "we will trick and exploit audiences with this concept!" And they did funnel some of the money to orphange(s) and/programs to help these children. |
