It’s rickshaws and noodles all round as hit musical makes its mark on city

Rickshaw rides and celebrity guests made it a red carpet night to remember at a Miss Saigon reception at Birmingham Hippodrome. The Vietnamese-inspired themed party – held to celebrate the West End and Broadway hit musical coming to the Hippodrome – also featured a Pan-Asian menu and special cocktails.
