Abstract

Building on and extending the Asian American Studies scholarship on Miss Saigon and cultural studies approaches of political economy, I examine this musical at the tenuous intersections between national identities, colonial history, orientalist heteropatriarchal fantasies, and globalized capitalism. Miss Saigon is a commercially popular and critically contested musical closely associated with Filipino/as and Asian Americans. ... the international staging of Miss Saigon in Asia both accentuates and reveals the unevenness between the abstract space of the First and Third Worlds within the globalized order.
