Wellington Musical Production Miss Saigon

On the stage of Wellington College Tianjin, the pupils brought the complex characters of Miss Saigon to life through their remarkable performances. 

Emily, playing Kim, captured the Vietnamese heroine’s innocence and resilience with subtlety, masterfully portraying her unwavering devotion to love amid adversity. Kai, as Chris, conveyed the American soldier’s inner turmoil and guilt through heartfelt vocals and a compelling emotional arc. Michelle, in the role of Ellen, delivered a layered portrayal of a woman torn between cultural divides and her heart’s choices, balancing vulnerability and strength. Kelly, as the Engineer, highlighted the allure and delusion of the “American Dream” in war-torn Vietnam, blending sharp wit with captivating stage presence. William, playing John, anchored his performance in quiet humanity, reflecting both compassion and the moral ambiguities of war. Michael, as Thuy, electrified the stage with his fiery depiction of post-war societal tensions, blending defiance and desperation to underscore the scars of conflict.

With their talent and hard work, our pupils breathe life into each character, weaving a poignant narrative of love, humanity, and cultural clash. Their collective performance immerses audiences in the profound struggles and personal growth of individuals amidst the turmoil of war.
