What makes Miss Saigon so riveting is how modern it feels. iN an era of our society, rife with social unrest and political calamity, Miss Siagnon feels like a harsh and brutal look at the dark side of the world, ala The Handmaid's Tale. It is dark,triggering, and everything that modern theater should be. It may not be a show that every audience member will like, but it is undoubtedly important.
