Rating:  - Great backstage book
Its leave up to the expectations.
Great backstage book with all the inside story and history of the show
Rating:  - Pure Propaganda
"The Story of 'Miss Saigon'" by Edward Behr and Joseph Steyn is, quite simply, a work of propaganda.

Rating:  - The Story Of Miss Saigon, A Great Book.
This is a very good book, which tells you everything about the making of Miss Saigon, started from Madam Butterfly, then the created team, casting session, rehearsing, the Broadway opening..etc...This book is out of print and very hard to find. I recommend this book to all musical fans out there, expecially Miss Saigon fans, you must read this book.
Rating: - Great for theatre buffs
Of the many theatre books I own, this is by far one of the
more interesting and informative. Great sections on how
the cast was picked and of the early writing process!
A must for actors or anyone who loves MS!
