This will be one of the most thrilling and exciting news to hear for the fans of 'Miss Saigon'. Cameron Mackintosh recently announced that the long time running and award winning musical show will soon arrive home in Broadway in the spring of 2017. The theatre is yet to be revealed in the future while 'Miss Saigon' completes their show run in London until February 2016.
In Cameron Mackintosh's website, he said that, "It's hard to believe that it has been nearly 25 years since MISS SAIGON first opened in New York, but if anything, the tragic love story of the show has become even more relevant today with the conflicts in Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq. This new production, directed by Laurence Connor, takes a grittier, more realistic approach than the original production while still delivering the power and epic sweep of Boublil and Schönberg's tremendous score. Of all my shows, MISS SAIGON is the one that I have received the most requests from the public to bring back, and I am thrilled that Broadway audiences will get to see this tremendous new production that audiences and critics in London have embraced since it opened last year. And I am delighted that our wonderful London stars, Jon Jon Briones and Eva Noblezada, will be bringing their stunning performances across the Atlantic." He also added, "Because of the complexity of creating as big a production as MISS SAIGON, we have decided to put together one Company to play North America, launching with a limited season on Broadway. And I am thrilled that every major theater across the country is eager to host the show, which has not been seen on this grand scale, and with such an unusually large multi-cultural cast, since the original production closed 15 years ago."
According to Broadway World, the London stars Eva Noblezada as Kim and Jon Jon Briones as the engineer will lead the casts of this Boiblil and Schonberg's production revival.'Miss Saigon' is an epic tragic love story of Kim, a young and Chris during the Vietnam War. It was adapted from Puccini's opera, Madame Butterfly.
This year, 'Miss Saigon' made a record-breaking nine awards in Whatsonstage Awards including Best Show, Best Musical Revival, Best Direction, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Choreography and Best Design.
