Moonlight Amphitheatre. Two lovers—an American GI
and a Vietnamese girl—are united in love but separated by
war in a story set against the backdrop of the Vietnam conflict
and the fall of Saigon. Miss Saigon is a modern re-telling
of Madame Butterfly, filled with Asian pageantry and a
pop rock score by the creators of Les Miserables, Claude-Michel
Schonberg and Alain Boublil. This award-winning musical features
The Heat is on in Saigon, Why God Why, Sun and Moon and
the heart-wrenching I’d Give My Life for You. The
show contains mature themes, situations and language. Show dates:
9/8–9/12, 9/15–9/19, and 9/23–9/25. The Moonlight
Amphitheatre is located at 1200 Vale Terrace Drive in Vista. www.moonlightstage.com
September
9 through October 17, times vary • The Full Monty
• Welk Resorts Theatre. This award-winning British
film began its evolution to the eventual The Full Monty
by incorporating the label "Chippendales" in the title.
Creators opted, instead, for an honest story about an unemployment-ravaged
town (later adapted to Buffalo, NY) and its workers’ fears,
self-consciousness and personal worth. Critics describe the show
as "delightfully bawdy" and a "rare crowd-pleaser."
Locals may remember that this musical began its journey to Broadway
at the Old Globe Theatre in Balboa Park. Consequently, audiences
at the Welk theater eagerly awaited its return to San Diego, so
they can personally answer the question: "Will they or won't
they?" NOTE: Due to language and material, this show is not
recommended for ages 16 and under. www.welktheatresandiego.com,
