Source-derived summary

Paris By Night 91: Huế, Sài Gòn, Hà Nội (Huế - Saigon - Hanoi) is a Paris By Night program produced by Thúy Nga that was filmed at the Terrace Theater at the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center on January 12, 2008 and January 13, 2008.

Concept

The program features songs, musicals and as well as a skit that characterize the three main cities of Vietnam, which are Huế, Sài Gòn and Hà Nội. Each city represents its respective region of the country. Hà Nội represents the North Vietnam. Huế represents the Central Vietnam. Sài Gòn represents the South Vietnam. Each city carries its own tradition as well as characteristics that set it apart from one another. As a whole, the cultures of Huế, Sài Gòn and Hà Nội complement each other to visualize a complete Việt Nam. The musical “Huế Mậu Thân” poignantly depicts the Massacre at Huế perpetrated by the communists in 1968 during the Tet Offensive.

Special guests included Hưng Huỳnh, who was the winner of Top Chef Season 3), Khải (a Dutch Pennsylvanian who spoke Vietnamese), Deputy Director Hồ Văn Kỳ Thoại (Phó Đề Đốc Hồ Văn Kỳ Thoại), and Former Deputy Nguyễn Lý Tưởng (Cựu Dân Biểu Nguyễn Lý Tưởng).

Why this record matters

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 29, 2025.

The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
