the overture center for the arts is hosting a touring production of miss saigon in april 2019 and had scheduled a panel discussion to showcase asian-american perspectives on the musical's treatment of asian characters. the center then postponed the panel discussion indefinitely, prompting a teach-in by the panel's organizers and scheduled speakers. “shame on overture for making a profit off the bodies of asian bodies and asian lives,” said nancy vue of freedom inc. “if you are a white woman, you should be outraged because this play pits white woman against asian women. you should be outraged that it does that because we ought to be working together.”
