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.”
