The exciting new production will visit the Theatre Royal Nottingham from March 24 to April 4, 2026, as one of seven new venues on its UK 2025/2026 tour.
Of the new production, legendary producer Cameron Mackintosh commented: “Over 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.”
In the last days of the Vietnam War, 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.
Since its London premiere in 1989, Cameron Mackintosh’s original production of Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg’s epic musical Miss Saigon became one of the most successful musicals in history.
The soaring musical score features the hits songs The Heat is On in Saigon, The Movie in My Mind, Last Night of the World and The American Dream.
