Michael Harrison, in association with Cameron Mackintosh, will present a new touring production of the Tony-nominated musical Miss Saigon next year.

Jean-Pierre van der Spuy, who recently directed an acclaimed Australian Opera production of Miss Saigon, will helm the tour, which will open at the Newcastle Theatre Royal October 4–25, 2025. The production will subsequently play dates at the Playhouse Theatre, Edinburgh; Palace Theatre, Manchester; The Alexandra, Birmingham; Grand Theatre, Leeds; and New Theatre, Oxford.

Additional dates, casting, and the production team will be announced at a later time.

Miss Saigon has music by Claude-Michel Schönberg with lyrics by Richard Maltby Jr. and Alain Boublil, adapted from original French lyrics by Boublil, with additional lyrics by Michael Mahler.

In a statement Mackintosh said, “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."

The Sheffield production cast Joanna Ampil, who had played Kim in the London, Sydney, U.K. touring, and 10th anniversary productions of Miss Saigon, in the traditionally male role of The Engineer.

Following its London premiere, Miss Saigon opened at the Broadway Theatre in April 1991, subsequently earning 11 Tony nominations and winning three for co-stars Lea Salonga, Jonathan Pryce, and Hinton Battle. The musical played 19 previews and 4,092 regular performances before closing in January 2001. A 2017 Broadway revival featured Eva Noblezada, who was Tony-nominated for her performance as Kim.
