How do West End stars warm up for a Saturday matinee? By channeling a hit show from across the pond, of course! The cast of Miss Saigon just tweeted a fun video of the cast stretching and prepping for their performance with "He Lives in You" as background music. Check out the video, and see if you can spot Olivier nominee Jon Jon Briones!

In a later tweet, the MISS SAIGON cast all but challenged the LION KING cast to reciprocate by posting a video of themselves warming up to a MISS SAIGON song. If it happens, you know BroadwayWorld will be the first to let you know!
