INIHAYAG ni Cameron Mackintosh ang open call auditions sa Pilipinas para sa iba’t ibang upcoming global productions ng Miss Saigon, ang record-breaking production na muling dinudumog sa London at nakatakdang magbukas sa Broadway sa 2017. Ang auditions sa Manila ay pamamahalaan ni Bobby Garcia at ng Atlantis Theatrical Entertainment Group (ATEG) sa Opera Haus.

“Miss Saigon’s producing and creative team will be flying in from London to hold auditions for various upcoming global productions of the hit musical. I look forward to working with them in discovering a new generation of Filipino talent to shine on the international stage in Miss Saigon the way Lea Salonga, Leo Valdez, JonJon Briones, Joanna Ampil and Rachelle Ann Go, among many others, have in the past,” sabi ni Bobby Garcia na siya ring associate director ng Miss Saigon.

“We are searching for Kim, The Engineer, Thuy, Gigi and all Asian roles in the musical. We are looking for leads and ensemble, as well as acrobatic dancers. We encourage performers throughout the Asian region to come to Manila and audition for Miss Saigon,” dagdag pa niya.
