Twenty years after its initial run, Miss Saigon will return to Manila.

The Cameron Mackintosh production of Miss Saigon will play at the Theatre at Solaire in Parañaque City in March 2024.

In 2000, Mackintosh brought the show to the Cultural Center of the Philippines, where Filipinos had their first look at Lea Salonga in the role of Kim.

The initial production gracing London’s West End stage dates back to 1989, catapulting Lea Salonga into stardom.

The West End’s revival from 2014 to 2016 bore witness to the talents of Filipino performers Rachelle Ann Go, Eva Noblezada, and Tanya Manalang.

Carlos Candal, CEO of GMG Productions, remarked, “Filipinos have a deep connection with Miss Saigon because it has been the stage where countless Filipino artists have had their moment to shine,” naming other Filipino talents who have joined the production, including Jon Jon Briones and Joanna Ampil. “We’re excited to welcome a new company of world-class performers to share the new staging of this phenomenal production,” he added.
