On announcing the final extension and closing date of the much-loved musical, Cameron Mackintosh said:
“I’m delighted to announce a final extension of my hugely successful new production of Miss Saigon at the Prince Edward Theatre.”
“This record-breaking and award-winning production is already repeating its success in Japan and Korea and is planned to open in Germany, Australia and Broadway in the next two years,” Mackintosh continued.
Original stars will lead the show
The final extension will see the production’s original stars, Eva Noblezada and Jon Jon Briones, continue to lead the incredible international cast that have played a leading role in the multi-award winning success of Miss Saigon.
This classic musical is set in the 1970s against the backdrop of the Vietnam War. The story explores the relationship between a young Vietnamese bargirl and an American GI. The original production of Miss Saigon premiered in the West End in 1989 where it ran for ten years.
