Miss Saigon opened to rave reviews at MalmöOpera in Sweden! Here is a selection:
Svenska Dagbladet (Swedish Daily Newspaper) "Spectacular and nicely executed scenes. Li-Tong Hsu, who here creates her first role on a Swedish stage and impresses with her Swedish pronunciation and is touching as the young Kim."
Sydsvenskan (Daily Newspaper) "Li-Tong Hsu as the innocent Kim has made a journey into the Swedish language, a journey which you can´t but admire. She also finds touching expressions for the love and affection of Kim, both in singing and acting.Well earned ovations!"
Skånska Dagbladet (regional Newspaper) "Kim is played by Li-Tong Hsu, who makes a memorable interpretation of a fragile young woman with an enormous spiritual power. Her voice has the same power in the lower range as in the higher and lighter. Li-Tong also gives her character a depth which touches and affects you – was any eye dry in the auditorium when she sang “I'd give my life for you” to little Tam?"
Kvällsposten (Evening Newspaper, Sweden) "Philip Jalmelid´s Chris and Li-Tong Hsu´s Kim have so much pathos and power of living the parts and perfectly placed emotions as you possibly can squeeze out of this cavalcade of duets and tearful monologues. You can absolutely not complain about the level of intensity or musicality in the voices."
Kristianstadsbladet (regional Newspaper) "The casting is 100% perfect!""The equally heartwrenching and sparkling show is virtually flawless and every part - orchestration, scenic energy, visual splendor and vocal beauty - is pitch perfect."
Sveriges Radio P2 & Sveriges Radio P4 (Swedish Radio) "In the center is, of course, the love drama between the American soldier and the Vietnamese girl Kim, played by Li-Tong Hsu – it is with her that the emotions are coming. She is heartfelt in the scenes and lives her character fully.""A first-class ticket with sobbing warranty."
Dagens Nyheter (Daily News, Sweden ) "Philip Jalmelid in the role of Chris together with Li-Tong Hsu in the role of Kim take Swedish musical artistry to new heights.
Skånskan ( Regional News, Sweden)"The most haunting version of the musical I have ever seen."
