Yorkshire dates announced for new production of hit show Miss Saigon - this is when tickets go on sale

The production will star Seann Miley Moore reprising their celebrated role as the Engineer.

Brit School graduat Julianne Pundan will make her professional debut as Kim alongside actor and singer Jack Kane as Chris.

Dom Hartley-Harris is John, Emily Langham is Ellen when the show lands in Yorkshire next year.

Producer Cameron Mackintosh said: “Since we first announced this new production, I have been genuinely delighted at the enthusiasm of the public determined not to miss the show with tickets flying out of the box office and several of the announced cities already nearly sold out.

“We have now completed our search for a really fantastic cast, full of exciting discoveries, that will bring Boublil and Schönberg’s extraordinary, powerful

musical back to thrilling life.”

Jean-Pierre van der Spuy, whose recent credits include co-direction of Oliver! at the Gielgud Theatre and Les

Misérables: The Arena Spectacular, is the production’s director.

Miss Saigon is set in the last days of the Vietnam War and 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 three years, Kim goes on a journey to find her way back to Chris, who has no idea he’s fathered a son.
