The talented Chi Nguyen is creating an all new musical! I will be directing the upcoming development and reading.
Miss Saigon-Wrong is a new musical that comments on Australia’s immigration laws through the immigrant’s perspective, and shines lights on the social and cultural dynamics within a modern day interracial relationship. The work is inspired by Nguyen’s recent experience of applying to be an Australian citizen, combining with her strong views on the problematic yet ever so popular musical Miss Saigon. This work is looking to be approx. 90 minutes long with 10-12 musical items that are heavily inspired by Vietnamese contemporary music (V-Pop, 00s onwards)
I first got to know Chi through watching her cabaret show Lotus (Nominated for Best Cabaret 2019 Melbourne Fringe). Her work is hilarious, nuanced nuanced and poignant. She is crowd funding for our development so please consider contributing to get this new show on its feet.
