MISS SAIGON to return to the West End in 2027

The production, which is currently on a sell-out tour of the UK and Ireland, will play a limited season at the Prince Edward Theatre from May 2027.

Miss Saigon is an epic musical set during the final days of the Vietnam War and follows the tragic love story between Kim, a young Vietnamese woman, and Chris, an American GI. Torn apart by the fall of Saigon, Kim embarks on the ultimate journey of survival to find her way back to Chris, who has no idea he's fathered a son. The soaring musical score features the hit songs 'The Heat is On in Saigon', 'The Movie in My Mind', 'Last Night of the World' and 'The American Dream'.

The production first premiered in London at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane back in 1989, where it became one of the most successful musicals in history. The original Broadway production played for nearly 10 years when it opened in 1991. The last West End revival of Miss Saigon was staged at the Prince Edward Theatre, where a special 25th anniversary performance took place during that run before it closed in 2016.

The musical features music by Claude-Michel Schönberg with lyrics by Richard Maltby Jr. and Alain Boublil, adapted from the original French text by Alain Boublil, with additional lyrics by Michael Mahler and New Orchestrations by Stephen Metcalfe based on the Original by William David Brohn.
