This is a re-write of the musical Madame Butterfly and is set in Vietnam. It's basically about a young soldier who falls for a young girl in a time of great conflict in the country. He leaves for home and she has a child and waits for his return so they can be together but he marries and knows nothing of the child. When he returns, he finds out, but the only way the young girl can get the young man to take their child with him is to kill herself, which she does. It's a very emotional musical which reminds us of several important facts about the Vietnam War that alot of people want to forget but shouldn't, the children that came about from affairs are not to blame for their existance but deserve respect from both sides. it's a love affair that was doomed from the beginning but was great while it lasted, a mother love that goes to the very extreme to give her child a better and safer life. I never tire of this CD, i never got to see the show but from the lyrics and music feel as though i'm there watching, listening and feeling the atmosphere, not many CD do that so i think it's a must have for all musical loversRead full review
