Stephen Fry, James Corden, and More Celebrate the Return of Miss Saigon to London's West End

Miss Saigon celebrated its return to the West End yesterday evening at the Prince Edward Theatre, 15 years after closing its decade-long run at London's Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. Based on the Puccini opera Madame Butterfly, the musical's plot is relocated to 1970s Saigon during the Vietnam War and features a book and score by Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil (Les Misérables), with additional lyrics by Richard Maltby Jr.

The WhatsOnStage team was in attendance at the opening-night event and had a chance to speak with stars of both the West End and Broadway including current Tony nominee Stephen Fry (Twelfth Night) and Tony Award winner James Corden (One Man, Two Guvnors). They also chatted with members of the musical's latest cast, as well as producer Cameron Mackintosh, who reflects on the show's long journey back to the London stage.
