Miss Saigon UK tour coming to Plymouth as full cast announced for 2026 production

Theatre Royal Plymouth will host a new production of Miss Saigon in 2026, as the full cast is announced for the major UK and Ireland tour.

Producer Michael Harrison, in association with Sir Cameron Mackintosh, confirmed that Seann Miley Moore will reprise their internationally acclaimed role as The Engineer.

The Filipino-Australian performer, known for their appearance on The X Factor UK, previously won a Critics’ Choice Award in Sydney for the role.

Newcomer Julianne Pundan, a recent graduate of The Brit School, will make her professional debut as Kim. She will star opposite Jack Kane, who plays American GI Chris. Kane is known for roles in Dragonheart: Vengeance and BBC’s Years and Years.

Dom Hartley-Harris, recently seen in Hamilton in the West End, will take on the role of John. Emily Langham (Singin’ in the Rain, Hello, Dolly!) will play Ellen, while Mikko Juan and The Voice UK semi-finalist Ace complete the principal cast as Thuy and Gigi.

Miss Saigon will run in Plymouth from 17 to 28 February 2026.

Tickets are already on sale, with demand prompting the show’s return to several nearly sold-out venues across the country.

Sir 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 show’s creative team includes co-choreographers Chrissie Cartwright and Carrie-Anne Ingrouille (SIX), lighting designer Bruno Poet (Tina: The Tina Turner Musical) and Olivier Award-winning sound designer Adam Fisher.

Based on Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, the musical tells the story of Kim, a 17-year-old Vietnamese girl forced to work in a bar during the final days of the Vietnam War. She falls in love with an American soldier, Chris, but the chaos of war tears them apart.

Since its 1989 London debut, Miss Saigon has been performed in 33 countries and seen by over 38 million people. The score includes hit songs such as The Heat is On in Saigon, The Movie in My Mind and The American Dream.
