Miss Saigon

Newcastle Theatre Royal

Saturday 4 - Saturday 25 October 2025

The highly anticipated new UK and Ireland tour of Miss Saigon will open at Newcastle Theatre Royal this October, and the stellar principal cast has been officially announced.

Michael Harrison, in association with Cameron Mackintosh, has confirmed that Miss Saigon will launch its spectacular new production in Newcastle from Saturday 4 to Saturday 25 October 2025, before embarking on an extensive tour across the country.

Set in the final days of the Vietnam War, Miss Saigon tells the epic story of Kim, a young Vietnamese woman, and her passionate, heartbreaking love affair with American GI Chris. Torn apart by the fall of Saigon, Kim embarks on a three-year journey to reunite with Chris, unaware of the life-changing secret she carries.

This new production is directed by Jean-Pierre van der Spuy with choreography by Chrissie Cartwright and Carrie-Anne Ingrouille. It features Boublil and Schönberg’s soaring score, including classic songs The Heat is On in Saigon, The Movie in My Mind, Last Night of the World, and The American Dream.

Since its 1989 premiere, Miss Saigon has been performed in over 30 countries, winning 75 major awards and captivating more than 38 million people worldwide.

I can’t wait to see Miss Saigon reborn again."
