Miss Saigon (Original 1989 London Cast - Highlights)

Amazon.com The highlights version of the two-disc set of Miss Saigon's 1989 London cast gives you 58 minutes (out of the original 107) and most of the best moments of the score. Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg's setting of Madame Butterfly in the Vietnam War includes beautiful and passionate music, most notably the bawdy opener "The Heat Is on in Saigon," "Why God Why," the romantic duet "The Last Night of the World," the female duet "I Still Believe," the male chorus number "Bui-Doi," and the Engineer's mocking "The American Dream." Time constraints, though, forced the elimination of "The Movie in My Mind," the wedding ceremony ("Dju Vui Vai"), and the revealing "Now That I've Seen Her," as well as much of the music that carries the plot forward. Casual listeners, therefore, might be satisfied with these highlights, while those who want to relive the show will need the complete recording. The booklet includes production photos and full lyrics. --David Horiuchi Product description Highlights From Cameron Mackintosh's Production Of Boublil & Schönberg's - Miss Saigon / Original London Cast Recording / Geffen Records ‎Audio CD 1990 / GEFD-24621 UPC 72064-24621-26 /// Label: Geffen Records ‎– GEFD-24621 Format: CD, Album Country: US Released: 1990 Genre: Stage & Screen Style: Musical //// Tracklist: 1 –The Orchestra Overture 3:21 2 –Jonathan Pryce, Bar Girls, Marines The Heat Is On In Saigon 4:37 3 –Simon Bowman Why God Why 4:52 4 –Lea Salonga, Simon Bowman Sun And Moon 2:43 5 –Lea Salonga, Simon Bowman The Last Night Of The World 4:25 6 –Vietnamese Soldiers The Morning Of The Dragon 2:10 7 –Lea Salonga, Claire Moore I Still Believe 3:38 8 –Jonathan Pryce, Lea Salonga, Keith Burns, Vietnamese Soldiers, People This Is The Hour 3:38 9 –Jonathan Pryce If You Want To Die In Bed 3:38 10 –Lea Salonga, Refugees I'd Give My Life For You 5:52 11 –Peter Polycarpou, Choir Bui Doi 4:05 12 –Peter Polycarpou, Simon Bowman, Lea Salonga, Chorus The Fall Of Saigon 4:53 13 –Claire Moore Her Or Me 3:21 14 –Jonathan Pryce The American Dream 6:03 Primis Player Placeholder Adapted By (Text) [Adapted From Original French Lyrics By] – Alain Boublil Administrator [Production] – Howard Harrison (2) Bass Trombone, Tuba – Stephen Aitken Bassoon – John McDougall (3) Cello – Anthony Pleeth, Barrie Belcher, Frank Schaefer, John Hursey Clarinet – Glen Martin Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Saxophone – Robert Sydor Conductor [Orchestra] – Martin Koch (3) Design [Miss Saigon Graphics And CD Sleeve Designed By] – Dewynters PLC London Directed By [Musical Director] – Nicholas Hytner Double Bass – Christopher Laurence Double Bass, Bass Guitar – Allen Walley Drums [Kit], Percussion – Christopher Baron Engineer [Assistant] – Maurice Cambridge Engineer [Sound] – David Hunt Executive-Producer – Nicholas Allott Guitar, Synthesizer – Ian Laws Horn – Martin Wall, Ronald Harris Keyboards, Synthesizer, Music Director [Asst Musical Director] – Anthony Castro Leader – Nigel Goldberg Lyrics By – Alain Boublil, Richard Maltby, Jr. Lyrics By [Additional Material] – Richard Maltby, Jr. Music By – Claude-Michel Schönberg Oboe, Cor Anglais – Sandra MacKay Orchestrated By [Orchestrations By] – William D.
