New Asian tour of Miss Saigon?

My mom's aerobics instructor is an aspiring musical theatre actor and will be leaving his day job next week to tour as (among other things) one of the "Morning of the Dragon" soloists in Miss Saigon.

Apparently the name of this group is Broadway Ambassadors, and they'll also be teaching English to local kids in each city in Asia they go to. Sounds like NETworks meets Peace Corps to me.

Anyone know anything about this? It seemingly defies Google.

I'd love to hear more about this, too.

But... IMO, we don't need an Asian Tour, we need a Broadway revival

Sorry...no info for you Lizzie...but just have him make sure that no "Mrs. Meers" is in charge! (Bwhahahaha!)

But I agree: I would love to see this again on the boards...how long has it been since it closed?

It close on 1/28/01. But I think we're okay without a revival for now.

does anyone know why this show never toured Latin America or played/translated into Spanish... it seems to be the only one of the british imports to not have that done

There was a production in Brazil. Not Spanish-speaking, of course, but that is Latin America.
