Salonga, Simon Bowman, and other cast members from the original 1989 
production of Miss Saigon joined the current West End company on stage last 
night for a special gala performance marking the musical's 25th 
anniversary. They were joined by other Miss Saigon alumni in a spectacular 
35 minute finale which saw Salonga and Bowman reprise their love duet, and 
Pryce recreate American Dream to raptuous applause from fans who paid 1989 
prices for their tickets.\n\nTickets for this performance go on sale Aug. 
26. Fans of the show will have a two-hour priority-booking period on-line 
from 10 AM London time via Miss Saigon social networks and the official 
show website with general on-sale starting at noon (maximum 2 tickets per 
person on-line). Fans can also purchase by queuing in person at the Box 
Office, which is open from 10 AM (maximum 4 tickets per person). To

parade is taking place in Saigon (since renamed Ho Chi Minh City) to 
celebrate the third anniversary of the reunification of Vietnam and the 
defeat of the Americans ("The Morning of The Dragon"). Thuy, now a 
commissar in the new Communist government, has ordered his soldiers to look 
for the still-corrupt Engineer. For the Communist Party, he goes by the 
name "Tran Van Dinh" and has spent the past three years working in the rice 
fields as part of a re-education program. Thuy orders the Engineer to find 
Kim and bring her to him. Although the intervening period is not shown, it 
is apparent that Kim and Chris have become separated in the three years 
separating the two acts. Kim has been hiding in an impoverished area, still 
in love with Chris and steadfastly believing that Chris will return to 
Vietnam and rescue her. Meanwhile, Chris is in bed with his new American 
wife, Ellen, when he wakes from a dream shouting Kim's name. Ellen and Kim 
both swear their devotion to Chris from opposite ends of the world ("I 
Still Believe").\n\nOn 22 September 2014, a special 25th anniversary gala 
performance was held. After a full performance of the current show, Lea 
Salonga, Simon Bowman, Jonathan Pryce and many of the original 1989 cast 
joined with the current cast for a special finale. The finale started with 
Lea Salonga leading the ensemble with "This is the Hour", Salonga and 
Rachelle Ann Go performed "The Movie in My Mind". Salonga, Simon Bowman, 
Alistair Brammer and Eva Noblezada performed "Last Night of the World" 
before Jonathan Pryce took to the stage for "The American Dream" and was 
later joined by Jon Jon Briones.[16] The West End production closed on 27 
February 2016 after 760 performances. The cast also performed a "Muck-Up 
Matinee" on the day of closing, where many understudies came to the stage 
for one final bow, including Tanya Manalang (Alternate Kim), Christian Rey 
Marbella (Understudy Engineer), before the main cast in the evening. 
Cameron Mackintosh announced a cinema screening of the 25th Anniversary 
Gala along with a movie at a later date, a brand new UK Tour, and plans to 
transfer to Australia, Germany, and Broadway in the next two years.[17] The 
revival closed to make way for the London transfer of the Broadway 
best-selling show Aladdin in May 2016, with former understudy for Thuy, 
Ethan Le Phong, understudying the lead role of Aladdin.\n\n\n\nOn 27 
February 2016, at the closing night of the Miss Saigon London Revival, 
Mackintosh hinted that the film adaptation was close to being produced when 
he said: "Sooner rather than later, the movie won't just be in my mind". As 
well as this, the 2014 "25th anniversary" performance of Miss Saigon in 
London was filmed for an Autumn cinema broadcast.[72] In March 2016, it was 
reported that Danny Boyle was in talks to direct the film for a 2018 
release.[73]\n eebf2c3492\n
