Miss Saigon is on the way back to the Bord Gáis
Boublil and Schönberg's legendary musical is reborn and Miss Saigon is on its way back to Dublin's Bord Gáis Energy Theatre.
This exciting new production will play from 13-17 January 2026 and tickets priced from €33.20 will go on sale on Friday 2nd May at 9am through Ticketmaster.
"Over 35 years after Boublil and Schönberg's legendary musical Miss Saigon first opened to international success, I am delighted that this powerful heart-wrenching love story has remained timeless around the world," says producer Cameron Mackintosh.
"The story of two young people - an American soldier and a Vietnamese girl - who fall in love as their lives are torn apart by war, ultimately causing a mother to sacrifice her life for her child, has become a worldwide hit . . .
"The recent hugely successful Sheffield Crucible production took a contemporary look at this great musical and that inspired producer Michael Harrison and I to also take a fresh look at Miss Saigon and create a modern version that can play many theatres that the original was unable to do.
"Directing this exciting new production is Jean-Pierre van der Spuy, who recently directed the acclaimed Australian Opera production of Miss Saigon and with Matthew Bourne, co-directed my hugely successful new production of Oliver! in the West End.
"Like the phoenix that is so central to the show's story Miss Saigon will rise again - a legend reborn."
Miss Saigon has music by Claude-Michel Schönberg with lyrics by Richard Maltby Jr. and Alain Boublil, adapted from original French text by Alain Boublil, with additional lyrics by Michael Mahler and Orchestrations by William David Brohn.
The soaring musical score features the hits songs; The Heat is On in Saigon, The Movie in My Mind, Last Night of the World and The American Dream. September 2024 marked 35 years since the show's opening in the West End.
Since its London premiere in 1989, Cameron Mackintosh's original production of Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg's epic musical has become one of the most successful musicals in history.
