Coming off the success of Les Miserables, their first musical collaboration, Claude-Michel Schonberg and Alain Boublil turned their focus to another epic historical landscape for their second project: the Vietnam War. Their musical, Miss Saigon, is an adaptation of famous composer Giacomo Puccini’s opera, Madama Butterfly, reconceived in the context of 1970s Saigon, during the Vietnam War.
