West End's Miss Saigon to be released on DVD?

At the stage door the other day, one of the cast member said that a performance has been recorded and shall be released on DVD. Has this been announced already? I would assume it would be the 25th Anniversary Performance.

The 25th anniversary performance was filmed all the way through. I suspect CamMac is making sure a release of the live show won't hamper any plans for a film version.

Please keep in mind that the 25th Anniversary performance of Les Miserables at the 02 was released on blu-ray in early 2011, and even showed at the end credits that the film adaptation was finally going to happen.

I had heard it was being given to the cast only, similar to the Manila production Starring Lea Salonga and Will Chase. If this is true, we may not see a legitimate release.

It seems like an awful lot of work for it to be just for the cast.

Or maybe that's just my wishful thinking.

"It seems like an awful lot of work for it to be just for the cast."

True, but again I point to the Manila video. It is well shot, and they filmed it twice, but never released it. Cam Mac also filmed his revival of My Fair Lady and that was also never released. He has a track record for doing this sort of thing.

I think it is a wonderful idea to promote the show and a possible upcoming movie by releasing the London 25th anniversary performance on dvd. It's all about getting it out there. There is a reason that the show is much less known to the general public. I've always felt that they were "hiding" this show in a strange way. Les Miserables was always out there, much more cast recordings and also the 10th Anniversary performance and the 25th Anniversary performance released on DVD only added to the popularity of the show.


Also, a movie version would be very different from the London revival show so I think now is the time to put it out there and grow an audience.



Also, if they take non-singers for the film again, and make it look and sound like a big struggle too, I'm glad that a document like this will exist, for the people who actually love the material as it is written. Then the film will be less of a downer.

At the intermission of the Cinema broadcast of MISS SIAGON the blu ray and DVD releases were advertised. So, yes it will be released on home video. As to when, there was no release date mentioned.

10/24/16 for both DVD and BD (UK only).

I suspect that this will region free (as Fathom's Billy Elliot was), followed later by an actual region 1 release.

They had a slide during the intermission saying that it's coming soon to blu ray, digital and DVD. I'd find it odd if they were to advertise that during the American showing only to not release it in the States.

It actually makes sense to me that they would withhold selling this I the states until after the Broadway production premiered. Especially because several of the west end leads are transferring with the production.

When they released the musical of From Here to Eternity only on region 2 DVD I bought it from Amazon.co.uk and used DVDShrink to convert it to a disc that would be playable on my region 1 DVD player. It's free and it worked like a charm.
