New production of Miss Saigon to open at Milton Keynes Theatre in April 2026

Milton Keynes Theatre will host the first run of a UK tour of the musical Miss Saigon in April 2026.

Since its London premiere in 1989, Cameron Mackintosh’s original production of Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg’s epic musical Miss Saigon has enjoyed great success. The original Broadway production opened in 1991 and played for nearly ten years with its 4,097 performances attended by more than 6.3 million people.

Cameron’s latest London production of Miss Saigon opened in London in May 2014 to record-breaking advance sales and critical acclaim, followed by a UK tour in 2017. During this run, in 2016, the spectacular 25th Anniversary Gala Performance of this timeless musical, featuring appearances by the original cast, including Jonathan Pryce and Lea Salonga, took place and was filmed for television and cinema and continues to be shown around the world.

The new 2026 tour of Miss Saigon will put in a week of shows at Milton Keynes Theatre, running from 7 April 2026 until 11 April. Tickets are on sale NOW at ATGTICKETS.COM/MiltonKeynes.

Seann Miley Moore (X Factor UK; Miss Saigon, International Tour; Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Australian Tour) will take part in their celebrated role as The Engineer following acclaimed performances across an international tour.

Recent Brit School graduate Julianne Pundan has also been cast and will be making her professional debut as Kim alongside actor and singer Jack Kane (who has starred in Dragonheart Vengeance and BBC/HBO series Years and Years) as Chris.

Dom Hartley-Harris, recently seen in the West End as George Washington in Hamilton and on tour as Curtis Taylor Jr. in Dreamgirls, is John, Emily Langham (Singin’ in the Rain International Tour; Hello, Dolly! London Palladium; The Witches, National Theatre) is Ellen.

Of the new production, 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 SAIGON, 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. I can’t wait to see MISS SAIGON reborn again.”

The plot of the musical takes place in the last days of the Vietnam War, when 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 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.
