Who's Miss Saigon For?
Anyone who wants an emotional story with a big score. It is by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, who wrote Les Misérables, and it works the same way: sung almost the whole way through, with the songs carrying the story.
A lot of people know two or three numbers from this show without knowing which show they come from.
People who saw it before, here or on the tour, and want to know what has changed. Quite a lot has: new orchestrations, additional lyrics, and a production deliberately built to feel less like an opera than the 1989 original did.
Anyone booking a first big West End night out with teenagers old enough for it. The guidance is 14+.
Not for you if you want a light evening. A city falls, a woman is left behind, and then it gets worse.
What Tickets Cost
Tickets start at £20, and that £20 is the same on a Saturday as it is on a Tuesday.
Most seats cost £60 to £120, which is the bulk of the Stalls and the Dress Circle. Premium starts at £130 and is a separate tier rather than the top of that range, running to around £205 midweek and around £225 at the weekend.
What the extra money buys at this theatre is a more central seat.
These are early-booking prices for a run that does not open until May 2027, and they will move as dates fill. Call us on 020 7193 9050 and we will tell you what is actually on your date.
All-in pricing, so the price you see is what you pay.
About Miss Saigon at the Prince Edward Theatre
Miss Saigon is what Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg wrote after Les Misérables. It opened in the West End at Theatre Royal Drury Lane in September 1989, running for over 10 years. It came back to London at the Prince Edward Theatre from May 2014 to February 2016, for the show's 25th anniversary. 2027 is its second run in this building, and Cameron Mackintosh's third production of it in thirty-seven years.
Mackintosh has moved it away from "the show's original operatic Madame Butterfly inspiration" and back to "its gritty 1970s dramatic and musical roots". The epic scale stays.
That means new orchestrations by Stephen Metcalfe, on William David Brohn's originals, and additional lyrics by Michael Mahler. The songs are the ones you know.
The whole creative team is new to the show. Bruno Poet lights it and Adam Fisher does the sound, and both have won Oliviers. George Reeve, who won a Tony in 2025, is working on video sequences.
The fall of Saigon still closes the first half. This staging of it is not the one that toured in the nineties.
What's Miss Saigon About?
Saigon, 1975. The American war in Vietnam is days from ending and the city is about to fall.
Who's who:
- Kim, seventeen and orphaned, newly working in a bar. The show belongs to her
- Chris, an American GI shortly leaving the country
- The Engineer, who owns the bar. Part French, part Vietnamese, and desperate for an American visa. The show's other lead, and the funny one
- Thuy, Kim's cousin, promised to her by their families when they were children
- John, Chris's friend, who comes back in the second half working for a charity for the children left behind
- Ellen, the woman Chris marries in America
Kim has been sold into the bar, where The Engineer is running a beauty contest to keep the place alive. She meets Chris, and what begins as a transaction becomes a marriage the same night. Thuy arrives to claim the woman he was promised, and is refused. Then the city falls, and the first half ends at the gates of the American embassy with the evacuation this show is famous for. Chris gets out. Kim does not.
The second half is what that costs, three years later. Kim has survived and she has Tam, the son Chris does not know exists. Chris has married Ellen and built a life in America. John finds Kim. Everyone ends up in Bangkok, and the two women meet.
How it ends is the thing people still argue about, and it is not something to give away here!
The songs. The score gives Kim two of the big ones, The Movie in My Mind and I'd Give My Life for You. The Last Night of the World is the love duet and the number most people can hum. Sun and Moon and I Still Believe are hers as well, the second one shared with Ellen. Bui Doi belongs to John, and takes its name from the children fathered by American soldiers and left in Vietnam. The showstopper is The Engineer's: The American Dream, which is also the most cynical thing in the evening. The Heat Is On in Saigon opens the show in the bar.

Best Seats for Miss Saigon
The centre of the Dress Circle, rows B to E. Our answer for most productions in this theatre, and the right one for this.
In the Stalls, the middle. The best legroom in the building, and the only level a lift reaches.
The front of the Grand Circle is the value pick. High and steep, but the rows up there are wide, even and cheap.
Think twice about the back of the Dress Circle. The Grand Circle starts cutting into it from about row K and rows M and back are the worst of it. The Stalls have the same trouble from around row R. Dress Circle row A has a wall in front of it, so take row B.
Why those seats, and how to get the same view for less, is in Tickets and Best Seats. Every level, the Loges, the slips and the Boxes are broken down in our Prince Edward Theatre guide.
Call us on 020 7193 9050 and we will find the best seat available for your budget.
Cast and Creative Team
No casting has been announced, and on this show that is the interesting part rather than a hole in the page.
Kim is the part that makes careers: it launched Lea Salonga in 1989, and Eva Noblezada in this building in 2014.
Jean-Pierre van der Spuy directs, having co-directed Oliver! at the Gielgud. Chrissie Cartwright and Carrie-Anne Ingrouille share the choreography; Ingrouille choreographed SIX.
Ring us on 020 7193 9050 and we will tell you where casting has got to. Who wrote the music and the words, who designed it, and the rest of the creative list is in the Cast and Creatives tab.

FAQs
The Prince Edward Theatre on Old Compton Street, W1D 4HS, in the middle of Soho. Four minutes on foot from Tottenham Court Road and five from Leicester Square.
The first performance is 13 May 2027 and the last is 8 January 2028. That is eight months, and the producers are billing it as a strictly limited season. Nothing is booked into the theatre after it, so there is a chance it extends.
Wednesday and Saturday, both at 2:30pm. There is no Friday matinee and no Sunday performance at all, which catches people who have booked at this theatre before.
Approximately 2 hours 40 minutes, including one interval. This is based on previous productions, so it might change a little, but it's useful as a guide for you
An evening performance starts at 7:30pm and is out at about 10:10pm. The Wednesday and Saturday matinees go up at 2:30pm, which puts you back onto Old Compton Street around 5:10pm. Again, use this as a guide, and we'll update once the show has officially landed in London.
No. It is built on Puccini's opera Madame Butterfly, moved to Vietnam and set against the real fall of Saigon in April 1975. The events around the characters happened. The characters did not.
Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, the pair who wrote Les Misérables. Schönberg wrote the music and Boublil the original French lyrics, with Richard Maltby Jr. on the English ones. This production adds further lyrics by Michael Mahler.
The Last Night of the World, the duet Kim and Chris sing before the city falls. The American Dream, which belongs to The Engineer, is the number people talk about on the way out.
The guidance is 14+ and we would take that seriously. There is no age rating as such, because a stage show carries no certificate the way a film does, but this is a war story and it is not softened. It's quite racey at times.
Wartime themes and violence, firearms and gun shots, a scene of a sexual nature, drug use and simulated smoking, and derogatory and coarse language. On the technical side, strobe lighting, loud sound effects, theatrical haze and pyrotechnics.
The evacuation sequence is in it and it closes the first half. This production stages it differently from the one people remember from the 1990s.
No actors have been announced yet. Call us on 020 7193 9050 and we will tell you where it has got to.
The centre of the Dress Circle, rows B to E, or the middle of the Stalls if you want the legroom. Tickets and Best Seats has the rest, including how to pay less without losing the view.
Accessible seating and the venue's access scheme are handled by the Prince Edward's own team rather than by us. The contacts, and the full picture of the building including which levels have stairs, are in our Prince Edward Theatre guide.
Tickets and Best Seats for Miss Saigon
The Prince Edward Theatre holds 1,695 for Miss Saigon, over three levels, plus ten Loges, the slips and the Boxes. The Stalls take about half of that on one floor.
One thing about the seating is specific to this production. Miss Saigon is configured with an extra row at the front of the Stalls, row AA, which Beetlejuice does not have. A seating plan for this theatre showing no row AA is the other show's plan.
Go for the front section of the Dress Circle, rows B to E. There is a cross-aisle behind row E, so those rows are a block of their own, and they sit in front of the overhang from the Grand Circle. You get the whole stage picture, which for Miss Saigon is what you're afterr. Row A has a wall in front of it, so start at B.
In the Stalls, most of the central seats are premium seats, but if you go slightly to the sides, you'll get a much cheaper seat with a very similar view, which would always be our recommendation.
Everything else about where to sit here is about the building rather than the show. The long version, level by level and including the Loges, the slips and the four different kinds of side seat, is in our Prince Edward Theatre guide.
Call us on 020 7193 9050 and we will talk you through what is left on your date.

Getting to the Prince Edward Theatre
The Prince Edward Theatre is on Old Compton Street, London W1D 4HS, in Soho.
Tottenham Court Road is four minutes away and Leicester Square five, so take whichever sits on the line you are already on.
By bus, 14, 19 and 38 stop on Shaftesbury Avenue and 24, 29 and 176 stop on Charing Cross Road. Those two roads meet at Cambridge Circus, which is the far end of Old Compton Street, so it is a walk along one street from either stop.
Arrive 20 to 30 minutes before, no later. The entrance is narrow for a building this size, there are security checks on the way in, and there are 1,695 people to get through one door. Latecomers are held until a suitable break rather than shown straight to their seats.
The Grand Circle is 42 steps up to the front and 72 to the back, with no lift, so if that is your level take the longer end of that window. The foyer lift reaches the Stalls, which sit below street level.
The Box Office opens 2 hours 30 minutes before the performance and stays open until 15 minutes after curtain up. On a matinee day it does not close between the two performances.
Parking, the bars, the cloakroom rules and everywhere worth eating nearby are all in our Prince Edward Theatre guide.

Miss Saigon Cast
Casting has not been announced. Every source, the producers and the theatre included, says the same thing: to be confirmed. We will put the names here as soon as there are names to put.

Both were at the start of their careers when the announcement came.
The principal roles, so you know what is being cast for: Kim, the seventeen-year-old at the centre of it; The Engineer, who owns the bar and is the other lead; Chris, the American soldier; Ellen, the woman he marries; John, his friend; Thuy, the cousin Kim was promised to; Gigi, a bar girl; and Tam, Kim's small son, played by a child.

Miss Saigon News and Reviews
There are no London reviews of this production. It does not open here until 13 May 2027.
It has been playing around the UK and Ireland through 2026, so London gets a transfer rather than a first outing. The season was announced on 2 February 2026 and tickets went on sale that March.
