Miss Saigon is celebrating its 25th anniversary later this year with a trip down memory lane, offering tickets to a special gala night on 22 September at the original 1989 price.

All tickets for this performance have had their prices slashed to £22.50, £20.00, £16.50 and £13.50 and go on sale on Tuesday 26 August at 10am; you can register here.

The gala will take place at the Prince Edward Theatre on Monday 22 September 2014 at 7pm. It will star members of the current company and also a feature some familiar faces from the original cast.

The 2014 company of Miss Saigon have also performed for a live recording to celebrate the show's 25th anniversary, following in the footsteps of Les Miserables and The Phantom of the Opera.

Boublil and Schonberg's musical transplants the Madam Butterfly story to war-torn Vietnam. Cultures and aspirations clash when a local prostitute meets her GI Joe during the fall of Saigon in 1975.

Cameron Mackintosh's West End revival of Miss Saigon has extended its booking period at the Prince Edward Theatre until 25 April 2015.

The cast includes Eva Noblezada (Kim), Alistair Brammer (Chris), Jon Jon Briones (The Engineer), Tamsin Carroll (Ellen) and Hugh Maynard (Jon).
