Miss Saigon releases new trailer as West End run goes on sale

Cameron Mackintosh, in association with Michael Harrison, has released a brand new trailer for the current production of Miss Saigon, which prepares for a West End season next year after its ongoing tour across the UK and Ireland concludes in August 2026.

Set during the final days of the Vietnam War, the musical 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 GI.

The score includes songs such as “The Heat Is On in Saigon”, “The Movie in My Mind”, “Last Night of the World” and “The American Dream.” The musical has been performed in 33 countries, across 378 cities, in 15 languages, and has won 75 major awards, including Olivier, Tony and Drama Desk Awards.

Miss Saigon has music by Claude-Michel Schönberg, lyrics by Richard Maltby Jr and Alain Boublil, adapted from the original French text by Boublil, with additional lyrics by Michael Mahler and new orchestrations by Stephen Metcalfe based on the original by William David Brohn. The new production is directed by Jean-Pierre van der Spuy, with co-choreography by Chrissie Cartwright and Carrie-Anne Ingrouille.

The creative team also includes set and costume designer Andrew D Edwards, lighting designer Bruno Poet, sound designer Adam Fisher, video designer George Reeve and musical supervisor Graham Hurman.
