TWITTER WATCH: Drama Tweeted To Audience As West End MISS SAIGON Cancels Due To Power Cut

Usually the drama takes place on stage at the Prince Edward Theatre where the 25th Anniversary production of MISS SAIGON has been thriling audiences nightly. But one minute before tonight's curtain, the story was being told on audience members' cell phones, as the theatre went dark because of a power cut. You can read the unfortunate details below.

MISS SAIGON made its highly anticipated return to the West End on May 21, 2014 at the Prince Edward Theatre, in the musical's 25th anniversary year and is scheduled to finish its West End run on 27th February 2016. The production has been announced for Broadway at an unspecified time.

Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg's epic musical has played in 300 cities in 15 different languages, winning awards around the world since the sensational record-breaking run at London's Theatre Royal Drury Lane 25 years ago. This epic love story tells the tragic tale of young bar girl Kim, orphaned by war, who falls in love with an American GI called Chris--but their lives are torn apart by the fall of Saigon.

MISS SAIGON has music by Claude-Michel Schönberg with lyrics by Richard Maltby Jr and Alain Boublil, adapted from original French lyrics by Alain Boublil with additional lyrics by Michael Mahler.

This new production is directed by Laurence Connor with musical staging by Bob Avian and additional choreography by Geoffrey Garratt, production design by Totie Driver and Matt Kinley based on an original concept by Adrian Vaux, costume design by Andreane Neofitou, lighting design by Bruno Poet, sound design by Mick Potter, and orchestrations by William David Brohn. Musical supervision is by Stephen Brooker and John Rigby. Musical direction is by Alfonso Casado Trigo.
