Trivia
Line 34:
* [[Counterpoint Duet]]: "I Still Believe", sung by Kim and Ellen. The main "counterpoint" is the setting--Kim is alone in a hovel in Saigon while Ellen is in a comfortable bedroom in America, {{spoiler|sitting next to the sleeping Chris. Their lyrics are actually quite similar--each woman sings of her love for Chris, Kim of how much she misses him and hopes to be reunited with him, Ellen of wishing that he would confide in her and stop keeping her at arms' length.}}
* [[Crosscast Role]]: The role of Tam has also been played by girls.
* [[Cut Song]]: "Too Much For One Heart", sung by Kim. Lea Salonga still keeps it in her concert repertoire [[Crowning Music of Awesome|and with good reason]]. There is also the finale "The Sacred Bird", heard initially when the show opened in London, but since pared down.
** Ellen's solo, "Her or Me", heard on the London Cast Recording, is modified into "Now That I've Seen Her" in all others.
* {{spoiler|[[Died in Your Arms Tonight]]: Kim dies in Chris' arms.}}
* [[Downer Ending]]: It's based on an Opera, what were you expecting?
