Kim Bootlegs: Updates
Hello all! So I recently stumbled upon a lot more audios of the 2014 West End Revival and I figured I would share them all with you. This list will be more in depth just because of the amount of bootlegs that I have found. If I have multiple audios of the same song from one person I'll list how many I have. I'll also list who they sing with in duets. Just look below and you'll get the gist of things. P.S. This list will only be of audio recordings since that's the majority of Miss Saigon Bootlegs I have.
