Cameron Mackintosh, who oversaw the production, 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." Other cast members include Jack Kane as Chris, Dom Hartley-Harris as John, and Emily Langham as Ellen. The musical, which first premiered in London in 1989, has become one of the most successful musicals in history. The original Broadway run began in April 1991 and lasted nearly a decade, with more than 6.3 million people seeing its 4,097 performances. Miss Saigon tells the story of 17-year-old Kim, who is forced to work in a Saigon bar run by a notorious character known as The Engineer during the final days of the Vietnam War. She falls in love with American GI Chris, but the two are separated by the fall of Saigon. The musical follows Kim's journey of survival and hope as she tries to reunite with Chris, who does not know he has fathered a child.
