Just a little rain as I arrived home from London. I decided to wait it out in the car and because the mind works in peculiar ways I was reminded that next year Miss Saigon returns to the West End.
I first saw it in 1995 when my friend Steve introduced me to the Wednesday matinee.
I was hooked. The soundtrack has accompanied moments in my life since that day. I've seen it twice, bought tickets for my family and watched the documentary about how it all began. The search for Kim was a long one but when you hear Lea Salonga sing, that's it, search over, role cast.
'A Little Fall of Rain' is actually from Les Miserables but in the recording I own Lea Salonga plays the role of Eponine, the character that sings this song. Hence the leap to Miss Saigon.
A little fall of rain, can hardly hurt me now.
Time to get out of the car.
