Have you booked for Miss Saigon? This outstanding coproduction from Supa Productions and Phoenix Players promises to be the musical theatre event of the year.

Miss Saigon closed in London’s West End after a staggering 4263 performances, and has been seen in many parts of the world.
Miss Saigon is a modern adaptation of Puccini’s opera Madame Butterfly and similarly tells the tragic tale of a doomed romance involving an Asian woman abandoned by her American lover. The setting is relocated to the 1970’s Saigon during the Vietnam War and Madame Butterfly’s American Lieutenant and Japanese geisha coupling is replaced by a romance between an American GI and a Vietnamese bar girl.
