⭐ MISS SAIGON – NEW UK REVIVAL SET TO TOUR IN 2025 ⭐
Michael Harrison in association with Cameron Mackintosh is delighted to present a new touring production of the global stage sensation, MISS SAIGON, as Boublil and Schönberg’s legendary musical is reborn.
This epic production will open at the Newcastle Theatre Royal where it plays from 4th – 25th October 2025. This year marks 35 years since MISS SAIGON made its West End premiere.
Initial dates & venues can be found on miss-saigon.com, with further dates, full casting and production team to be announced at a later date.
In the last days of the Vietnam War, 17-year-old Kim is forced to work in a Saigon bar run by a notorious character known as The Engineer. There she meets and falls in love with an American GI named Chris, but they are torn apart by the fall of Saigon. For 3 years Kim goes on an epic journey of survival to find her way back to Chris, who has no idea he’s fathered a son.
Of the new revival, Cameron Mackintosh comments:
“35 years after Boublil and Schönberg’s legendary musical MISS SAIGON first opened to international success, I am delighted that this powerful heart-wrenching love story has remained timeless around the world. The story of two young people – an American soldier and a Vietnamese girl – who fall in love as their lives are torn apart by war, ultimately causing a mother to sacrifice her life for her child, has become a worldwide hit, as well as one of the most popular musicals ever in Asian countries, with separate companies regularly playing in Korea, Japan, the Philippines and Singapore.
The recent hugely successful Sheffield Crucible production took a contemporary look at this great musical and that inspired producer Michael Harrison and I to also take a fresh look at MISS SAIGON and create a modern version that can play many theatres that the original was unable to do.
Directing this exciting new production is Jean-Pierre van der Spuy, who recently directed the acclaimed Australian Opera production of MISS SAIGON and with Matthew Bourne is co-directing my hugely successful new production of Oliver! in the West End. Like the phoenix that is so central to the show’s story MISS SAIGON will rise again next year – a legend reborn”
MISS SAIGON has been performed in 33 countries, 378 cities in 15 different languages, has won 75 major awards including 2 Olivier Awards, 3 Tony Awards, and 4 Drama Desk Awards and has been seen by over 38 million people worldwide.
MISS SAIGON has music by Claude-Michel Schönberg with lyrics by Richard Maltby Jr. and Alain Boublil, adapted from original French lyrics by Alain Boublil, with additional lyrics by Michael Mahler.
Produced by Michael Harrison in association with Cameron Mackintosh.
