Miss Saigon Musical Lyrics

The musical is a joint project of C.-M. Schonberg & A. Boublil. Lyrics & libretto wrote R. Maltby Jr. The project is based on the opera Madame Butterfly, of the G. Puccini’s authorship. The only difference between creations is that in the first case, it is told about the tragic relationship of Asian girl & an American soldier. The second case describes unrequited love of Lieutenant & geisha. The show was a great success in the Boublil’s career.
