Miss Saigon will join the ranks of such other long-distance performers as 42nd Street and A Chorus Line on June 18, when it plays its 3,000th performance.
The Boubil/Schonberg musical recently celebrated its seventh anniversary at the Broadway Theater on April 11. It is the ninth longest running musical in Broadway history. Astonishingly, four performers from the original Broadway cast are still with the show: Alan Ariano, Francis J. Cruz, Sylvia Dohi and Ray Santos. The current stars of Miss Saigon are Luoyong Wang as The Engineer, Deedee Lynn Magno as Kim, Matt Bogart as Chris, Leonard Joseph as John, Juan P. Pinedo as Thuy, and Anastasia Barzee as Ellen.
Other currently-running members of the 3,000-plus club are Les Miserables, Cats, and The Phantom of the Opera.
