A new tour of musical megahit Miss Saigon has been announced for 2025. The new touring production is to head to Newcastle, Edinburgh and Manchester next year, with “further dates to be announced”.

The legendary Boublil and Schönberg musical has become a global stage sensation since first premiering 35 years ago. Now Michael Harrison in association with Cameron Mackintosh have announced a new touring production heading out across the UK in 2025.

It will include a return run to Manchester’s Palace Theatre, from November 4 – 15, 2025. Tickets will go on sale from November 28 at 10am.

Miss Saigon is set in the last days of the Vietnam War, where 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 an epic journey of survival to find her way back to Chris, who has no idea he’s fathered a son.

Following dates in Newcastle and Edinburgh the production will head to the Manchester Palace Theatre where it plays from Tuesday 4 – Saturday 15 November 2025. This year marks 35 years since Miss Saigon made its West End premiere.

Of the new revival, theatre supremo Cameron 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.

“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”

Michael Harrison continues: “It is thrilling to be collaborating with Cameron on a brand-new production of Miss Saigon. Millions of people around the world have been moved by its riveting story, messages of family and enduring love, and by Boublil and Schönberg’s majestic score. I am delighted that we can now bring this story to audiences throughout the country in a brilliant and modern production.”
