The iconic musical Miss Saigon will return to the West End’s Prince Edward Theatre in May 2027 for a strictly limited season. Performances are scheduled to begin in May, with exact dates and casting to be confirmed at a later time. Tickets are set to go on sale in March via the show’s official website.
The West End return follows the production’s current UK and Ireland tour, which is scheduled to run until August. This will be the first West End engagement of Miss Saigon since its most recent revival in 2014, which starred Eva Noblezada as Kim and Jon Jon Briones as The Engineer.
The 2027 season will be presented by Cameron Mackintosh in association with Michael Harrison. The production is directed by Jean-Pierre van der Spuy, whose recent credits include Oliver!, and produced by Harrison, whose work includes Starlight Express, alongside Mackintosh, the original producer of Miss Saigon.
The musical features music by Claude-Michel Schönberg, with lyrics by Richard Maltby Jr. and Alain Boublil, adapted from Boublil’s original French lyrics, and additional lyrics by Michael Mahler. Orchestrations are by William David Brohn.
First staged in London in 1989, Miss Saigon has since been performed in hundreds of cities worldwide and seen by tens of millions of audience members. The 2027 West End season will come nearly four decades after its original London debut in 1989.
Set in the final days of the Vietnam War, Miss Saigon follows 17-year-old Kim, who is forced to work in a Saigon bar run by The Engineer. She falls in love with an American soldier, Chris, but the fall of Saigon separates them, leading Kim on a years-long journey of survival as she searches for him and raises their child.
The production is also widely noted for introducing Filipino performer Lea Salonga to international audiences, who originated the role of Kim in the original London production, winning the Laurence Olivier Award for the performance before later reprising the role on Broadway, where she also received the Tony Award.
