Miss Saigon description

Boublil and Schönberg’s legendary musical, Miss Saigon, is back in London for 2027.

Miss Saigon returns to the capital courtesy of Cameron Mackintosh in association with Michael Harrison, and you can expect a spectacular new production of the beloved musical, which premiered in London way back in 1989 and proved an instant, enduring hit.

The same heartbreaking story, inspired by Puccini's beautiful opera Madame Butterfly, meets the same soaring score to create musical theatre magic, with classic hits like "The Heat is On", "The Move in My Mind", "Last Night of the World", and "The American Dream" all bringing the plot to beautiful life.

Exploring love, sacrifice, and war's devastating impact, the story whisks us back to the final days of the Vietnam War, where we meet 17-year-old orphan Kim. She's working behind the bar at a pub, Dreamland, owned by a notoriously dodgy guy nicknamed The Engineer. She falls truly, madly, and deeply in love with Chris, a US GI, but when the city of Saigon falls, they're torn apart. Kim spends the next three years desperate to survive, doing everything she can to reunite herself with her lover Chris, who doesn't realise he has a son by her and has married an American woman.

Music by Claude-Michel Schönberg plus lyrics by Richard Maltby Junior and Alain Boublil are adapted from the original French by Boublil. There are additional lyrics by Michael Mahler, plus new Orchestrations by Stephen Metcalfe based on William David Brohn's masterful original. This time around there's Direction from Jean-Pierre van der Spuy. The Co-Choreographers are Chrissie Cartwright and Carrie-Anne Ingrouille, with Set and Costume Design from Andrew D. Edwards and Lighting Design by Bruno Poet. Sound Designer Adam Fisher, Video Designer George Reeve and Musical Supervisor Graham Hurman are also on the creative team.

Billed as an 'epic production', the show is only on stage for a strictly limited season, so grab your Miss Saigon tickets as soon as you can. You won't want to miss this beloved classic.
