Patty & Emily
Comedy and Opinions from Two Broadway Fans!
Jonathan Pryce played The Engineer in Miss Saigon (a pimp who owns a club). He played the part in the West End, and also on Broadway. The character is French-Vietnamese (the French colonized Vietnam). A lot of people weren’t a fan of his casting because they felt like the character should have been played by an asian, even though the character is half white anyway. It was stupid though because Lea Salonga was playing a vietnamese girl even though she is filipino. Jonathan Pryce is a brilliant actor though and ended up winning the Olivier and Tony for his performance in Miss Saigon! And so did Lea Salonga! Listen to the show its amazing!! Completely sung thru btw
Dear Patty and Emily,
Thank you so much for coming to my show and for your very kind words! I’m honored. You guys are hilarious.
