“Producing Miss Saigon on any stage is an artistic and technical challenge, and re-thinking the show to work in our intimate in-the-round space has been a rewarding challenge for the staff at North Shore Music Theatre,” said NSMT owner and producer Bill Hanney in a statement. “Audiences will be moved by this powerful love story and beautiful staging created by our director Richard Stafford. They will also be in awe of the work from our brilliant technical team who will land a helicopter on the stage nightly. It will be one evening in the theater that will stay with our audiences for a lifetime.”

Miss Saigon, according to the North Shore, sets Puccini's Madame Butterfly "within the turmoil of the Vietnam War where an American soldier and a Vietnamese girl fall in love, only to be separated during the fall of Saigon. Their struggles to find each other over the ensuing years is a moving testament to the human spirit as she fights to find a better life for the child he never knew he had." Winner of three Tony Awards, Miss Saigon features a score with music by Claude-Michel Schönberg and lyrics by Richard Maltby Jr. and Alain Boublil. The creative team also features Andrew Bryan (music director), Jack Mehler (scenic and lighting design), Paula Peasley-Ninestein (costume design), Michael Eisenberg (sound design), Gerard Kelly (hair and wig design), Shawn Pryby (production stage manager), Jonathan Stahl (associate director/choreographer), Phill Madore (assistant stage manager), Eric Johnston (assistant music director) and Binder Casting (casting).

Miss Saigon is produced for North Shore Music Theatre by Bill Hanney (owner/producer), Arianna Knapp (artistic director) and Beth Vasta (associate producer).
