Fun Fact

The show is also known to play big roles in helping talented actors launch their careers. With Lea Salonga winning a tony and Olivier for the role when she originated the role in 1989. She was also the first asian women to win these accolades. Eva Noblezada also took on the role at the age of 17 in the 25th anniversary revival back in 2014. Following this she went to star in Hadestown and The Great Gatsby.

The show is produced by Cameron Macintosh who other impressive repertoire include : Les Miserables, Hamilton, Mamma Mia!, Oliver! and The Book of Mormon.

He said regarding this new production of Miss Saigon, “We set out to achieve this by moving away from the show’s original operatic Madame Butterfly inspiration and instead refocusing on its gritty 1970s dramatic and musical roots.

The show, through its extraordinary score, retains its epic scale and emotional power. But now – 50 years on from when our war-torn love story was set, during the Fall of Saigon – the plight and struggles of its innocent characters fighting for survival are more poignant and moving than ever in a world still beset by many conflicts.”

Tickets will go on sale in March 2026 with the full details of the dates and cast confirmed at a later time. Miss Saigon returns in May 2027.

The rumours were true! After the speculation last year Jonathon Bailey has seemingly posted a confirmation on his Instagram. Before the official word was out. The Wicked stars will be reuniting on stage next summer for a revival of the classic Sondheim musical Sunday in the Park with George. This will also be Ariana Grande West End debut.

Sunday in the Park with George is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by James Lapine. The show was loosely based on A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. by Georges Seurat, a renowned painter. The show has not been seen in a major production in London in almost 20 years.

Marianne Elliott will be directing this new production and reuniting with Jonathan Bailey after their previous work on Cock and Company. Tom Scutt will be working on the design. Which is very exciting after his incredible work on another Sondheim revival, Into the Woods.

The production will open at the Barbican Centre in summer 2027. Tickets will be on sale exclusively at the Barbican box office. They will go on sale in May this year. More specific info will be announced soon!

After a successful 2 year stint at the Wembley Park Troubadour Theatre. The show will end it’s run with the title of the longest-running Andrew Lloyd Webber musical revival in London in 20 years.

It’s not all sad new though! The show has announced a 2027 world tour with this production. Although dates and venues have not yet been announced it’s exciting to know this production will have a future life beyond London.

Starlight Express tells the story of Rusty a steam train whose dream is to become the fastest engine in the world. Along the way he faces adversaries and might also fall in love. The show is famously performed on roller skates and has been seen by more than 30 million people since it’s premiere back in 1984.
