00:05 As a Kim of Miss Saigon, what are your thoughts about this production?

00:09 Of course, I'm very happy because Miss Saigon will be watched again.

00:16 Because Gen Z don't know about this anymore.

00:19 So now, they can see it again.

00:23 And it has evolved.

00:26 I'm also excited because we can see what we did before again.

00:31 But it's different now.

00:34 And I'm very happy for the new generation because they will experience Miss Saigon again.

00:40 And it opened a lot of doors again to not only the Australian Filipinos,

00:47 but of course, the Filipinos all over the world.

00:50 Because they will see the talent of the Filipinos again.

00:54 So I'm very happy.

00:55 What is your message to the cast, especially to Kim?

01:00 Yes, to Abigail and to all the Kims.

01:04 Good luck. Enjoy yourselves.

01:08 Because it's a once in a lifetime opportunity.

01:13 We enjoyed it. It's our time.

01:16 And I hope you will enjoy it too.

01:18 And it will open so many things for you.

01:21 So good job and God bless.

01:24 Hello, I'm Janine Desiderio.

01:27 I was part of the original cast in 1989 when it premiered in London.

01:31 I played originally the part of Yvette and eventually took over the role of Kim.

01:37 What are my thoughts?

01:39 Excited, of course. Very excited.

01:42 Because it's going to be an evolved version of what we used to do before.

01:47 And I've heard so many good things already about the new cast.

01:50 So we're very, very excited to watch and meet the new cast.

01:54 Good luck to the new cast and the new production of Princess.

01:58 Thank you.

02:00 After watching this, I did that.

02:03 I did that exact thing.

02:06 And now I'm seeing it again after 8 years. It's overwhelming.

02:10 Do you think you can play it again?

02:11 Yeah, why not? I'm still the same height.

02:14 Thank you.

02:18 The show, it always gets me.

02:21 The magic of this show, Miss Saigon, still exists.

02:26 Very relevant still up to this day.

02:30 And I'm just very happy for the whole team of Miss Saigon Manila.

02:36 So congratulations everyone.

02:38 Hi, I'm Edgelao Changriulo.

02:46 where I was the cover for Ellen in Manila.

02:50 So to see it come back after so many years is really quite exciting.

02:54 I'm looking forward to seeing a new energy about the show.

02:59 And particularly here to support Kiara.

03:02 So all the best to Miss Saigon Touring Company.

03:05 It's for me, huh?

03:08 I'm so pussed out.

03:11 It is a wonderful experience.

03:15 What do you say about the engineer?

03:17 I'm so glad he's done it the way he wants it.
