'Sharing his excitement for this cast, Cameron Mackintosh said, “This is a cast with incredible energy and heart who totally get the true story of Miss Saigon and its contemporary resonance.

Miss Saigon tells the story of a young Vietnamese woman named Kim, who is orphaned by war and forced to work in a bar run by a notorious character known as the Engineer. There she meets and falls in love with an American G.I. 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.

Cameron Mackintosh’s new production of Miss Saigon opened in London in May 2014 to record-breaking advance sales and critical acclaim. It then opened on Broadway and a hugely successful US Tour followed.

Music supervision is by Alfonso Casado Trigo and Guy Simpson.
