DESCRIPTION

A classic love story is brought up-to-date in one of the most stunning theatrical spectacles of all time. In the turmoil of the Vietnam War, an American soldier and a Vietnamese girl fall in love, only to be separated during the fall of Saigon. Their struggles to find each other over the ensuing years ends in tragedy for her and a fighting chance for the child he never knew he had.

Alain Boublil and Claude-Michael Schönberg (Les Misérables), along with Richard Maltby, Jr. (The Pirate Queen, Ain’t Misbehavin’) collaborate to bring the story of Madame Butterfly to the modern world in a moving testament to the human spirit and a scathing indictment of the tragedies of war.
