MISS SAIGON headed back to Broadway?

Prince Ali has found his London home! The Daily Mail reports that Broadway's Aladdin, originally in talks to open at the London Palladium or the Dominion, has finally secured the West End's Prince Edward Theatre.

Provided Cameron Mackintosh's MISS SAIGON moves to Broadway next summer (yes, please!), the Disney musical will move into SAIGON's former venue in 2016.

Mackintosh told the Mail MISS SAIGON's sets will be transferring with the show to New York to save money.

Isn't miss saigon still selling well in London?

I always figured it would move to Broadway. But now we're talking a full on movie, sets & all, to Broadway. Maybe by the Fall of 2016, as I still see MISS SAIGON sticking around in the West End for another year.

ACL, Miss Saigon is definitely moving out summer 2016. I also thought it would last longer. I wonder if it will still be making money

I wonder how much longer Les Mis Broadway is gonna run

I thought there was a union rule that didn't allow scenery being transferred to Broadway if it wasn't built by the local union builders.

Have there not been instances in the past where transferred productions had to rebuild their sets for Broadway to meet union requirements? Isn't this why most shows trying out of town with intentions of transferring still have their scenery built in New York? Did I make that up?

CATS when I read this, I thought that too.  I don't know the official IATSE agreements in NYC.  Perhaps someone on the board does.  BUT why would Cam Mac say that if it wasn't possible, he would obviously know.

Really hope this happens but I think Miss Saigon is doing to well in London to close in the next year and with the successful Les Miserables revival I feel it would be a big tourist "cash cow" to have three of the biggest mega-musicals of the 80s on Broadway and West End at the same time.

Did Les Mis Broadway recoup yet?

It has not announced that it has recouped, so I am guessing not.

"One can hope Cats stays away for a good long time  - like now & forever"

 Agree or disagree - this post by Mr. Roxy belongs in the Hall of Fame!  Well done, sirrah!

The Broadway Theater is too big for this production of Miss Saigon. While it would be cool for nostalgic reasons, it won't work from a business point-of-view

Did not realize it was a scaled down production

It is not scaled down at all. It is bigger than the original from all reports...

Within Cameron Makintosh's quote in a 5/14/14 NY Times piece:

"However with our incredibly busy international openings of several different titles over the next two years, and the very limited number of theaters that could house a production as big as ‘Saigon’ on Broadway, lining up a theater and production slot is going to be very difficult particularly as many of ‘Saigon’s’ creative team are working on my other shows as well.”
