. Miss Saigon is a musical created by Claude Michel-Schonberg and Alain Boublil. The musical follows the story of a fictional American soldier, Chris, who meets and falls in love with a Vietnamese woman, Kim, in a bar just before the fall of Saigon. The South Vietnamese attempted to flee the country before the communist rise to power, but many were left behind. Kim is forced to stay in her rapidly changing country while Chris returns to America, and the show documents the changes in each of their lives as they adjust to the war's end. It is Broadway's 13th longest running show and considered a success, but has been met with backlash because of its supposed racist and misogynistic messages.
