no buy unless it gives the full Vietnam experience, I want to wake up years later from a ptsd-induced nightmare about getting seperated from my Vietnamese lover during the fall of Saigon, as in airlifted out on a helicopter while she is left in the chaos of what is soon to be Ho Chi Minh city, only to be comforted by my American wife as I realize it was a nightmare. Then I want to learn from my buddy from the military days that my Vietnamese wife is actually alive and I fathered a half Vietnamese child, so I can rush to their new residence in Bangkok, only for her to commit suicide when she realizes I cant leave my wife for her. All set to a heartrending yet occasionally lopsided orchestration that blends a traditional Vietnamese timbre with a clear late 80s-early 90s pop broadway influence(which is a bit puzzling because Les Mis, the previous work of the minds behind this show, was entirely its own sound despite also being a period piece). Then I realize I’m actually trash at red orchestra because I can’t spot enemies or determine friend from foe when everyone is wearing green and brown, and instead of playing the game I’m having flashbacks to when I went to see the jaw-dropping yet flawed spectacle that was the touring production of Miss Saigon.
