<p>By Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole
</p>
<p> London's smash hit Miss Saigon will open on Broadway next
April, but the musical is already striking discordant notes
along the Great White Way. Asian-American actors object to
Caucasian Jonathan Pryce's taking on the starring role of a
Eurasian character. They are urging the producers to
reconsider, even though Pryce has won raves in the West End.
In a satiric number praising the American dream, Pryce sings,
"Luck by the tail/ How can you fail?" It's an ironic question
for Asian-American actors, who see the casting as a throwback
to the "yellow-face" days of Charlie Chan.
