miss-saigon

On October 16th MISS SAIGON: THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY PERFORMANCE brings an all-new spectacular film production of the legendary musical to cinemas around the UK.

This acclaimed new staging of Boublil and Schönberg’s Miss Saigon was one of the most highly anticipated musical events the West End had seen in recent years; smashing box office records and winning numerous awards, it was described by The Daily Telegraph as “the most thrilling, soaring and emotionally stirring musical which speaks afresh to our times.”

Shot in front of a live audience at the blockbuster musical’s sell-out 25th anniversary performance at London’s Prince Edward Theatre, MISS SAIGON: THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY PERFORMANCE gives cinema-goers around the UK the chance to enjoy the spectacular, sell-out event which saw more than 20,000 people attempt to book seats within the first five minutes of release.

Sir Cameron Mackintosh, producer of the musical and of the film, comments: “The results were so astonishingly cinematic that it was decided that in order to create a unique cinematic/theatrical experience we would film some additional covering shots filmed in January 2016. As this was a filmed live performance, the orchestra and vocals were taken directly from the show’s sound system – one take and no overdubs! It was decided not to digitally remove the stage microphones to remind viewers this was a stage event rather than a film. Remarkably, the emotional performances of this wonderful cast in close-up seems entirely natural as if they were being shot for the cinema rather than being performed in a 1,700-seat theatre. The clarity of the sound and the sweeping music makes this passionate story even more intensely thrilling and moving on the screen.”

With music by Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil (‘Les Misérables’) and lyrics by Boublil and Richard Maltby Jr, Sir Cameron Mackintosh’s MISS SAIGON is loosely inspired by Puccini’s ‘Madame Butterfly’.  Set in 1975 in Saigon, at the tail end of the Vietnam War it tells the dramatic tale of Kim a young bar girl orphaned by war who falls in love with an American GI only for their love and lives to be torn apart by the fall of Saigon.

Pokemon Go First Halloween in-game event rewards trainers and more

With this Halloween, players of the popular Pokémon GO mobile game will experience exciting treats from Niantic Labs, Inc. and The Pokémon Company International. Beginning this Wednesday 26th October, through Tuesday 1st November, Pokémon GO Trainers will have the chance to catch some of the spookiest Pokémon available in the game with increased global encounters of Drowzee, Gastly, Gengar, Golbat, Haunter, Hypno, and, yes, Zubat. And, since it wouldn’t be Halloween without candy, Trainers will have the opportunity to earn more Pokémon Candy during this event as they explore the world around them in search of Pokémon.

“It’s been incredible watching people explore their neighbourhoods and catch wild Pokémon all summer,” said Tatsuo Nomura, senior product manager at Niantic, Inc. “We would like to trick-or-treat in our own special way by giving Trainers the chance to catch more Pokémon and earn extra Candy this Halloween.”

During this period, every Pokémon caught will earn Trainers six Candies—twice the normal amount. The professor will also give Trainers two Candies instead of one for every Pokémon transferred to him. In addition, Buddy Pokémon will award four candies instead of the usual one. Pokémon Candies enable Trainers to evolve or strengthen their Pokémon, so players will want to walk and catch all the Pokémon they can to get their fill of Candy during this special event.

“The excitement of Pokémon’s 20-year celebration continues this Halloween with the first-ever in-game Pokémon GO event,” said J.C. Smith, senior director of consumer marketing at The Pokémon Company International. “We anticipate seeing many Pokémon-themed costumes during this anniversary year, and now Trainers can add Pokémon GO to their trick-or-treat route to receive Candy and add some of the spookier Pokémon to their Pokédex.”
