Miss Saigon dates released for the West End revival

London Box Office 9 September, 2013, 14:14

Dates have this week been announced for the West End return of Miss Saigon. In what will be the 25th anniversary year since Miss Saigon first premiered on the London stage, Miss Saigon will begin its run at the Prince Edward Theatre from 3 May 2014. Bookings will go on sale 9 September, with bookings being taken until 25 October 2014.

Based on Giacomo Puccini’s famous opera Madame Butterfly, Miss Saigon transports the classic love story to the final days of the American occupation of Saigon in Vietnam in 1975. Producer Cameron Mackintosh said: ‘If anything, the tragic love story of Miss Saigon has become even more relevant today. In the last 25 years, our country has become involved in similar wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in the way we weren’t in Vietnam, and the American Dream has been buffeted by the reality of recent history. The new production has taken a more gritty and realistic approach to the design than the operatic original but still delivers the power and epic sweep of Boublil and Schönberg’s great score.’
