General sale starts on Thursday, June 26.
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.

Kaiser Chiefs to play LiveHouse Dundee next year
British rock band Kaiser Chiefs are the latest major act coming to Dundee's LiveHouse. The band announced the show today, as part of their latest UK tour. Lead singer Rick Wilson and fellow founder members Andrew White and Nick Baines will be joined on stage by Vijay Mistry for the gig on Tuesday, February 17 2026. The Leeds band are currently on the final leg of their summer festival shows, finishing up next week in Ireland and they'll be resting up for a couple of months before heading off to Mexico then Australia in November. They've spent 2025 promoting the 20th anniversary of their debut album Employment, which made the band a household name. Singer Ricky Wilson said in a statement: 'This summer, we played a load of shows to mark the release of our debut album that was called Employment. 'It went well, probably better than our first summer 20 years ago. 'It was the year after that things really took off… So we hope you will join us in February to help celebrate with us 'the year it really took off'. 'If you were with us the first time, or unfortunately missed out due to other commitments etc. we hope you will join us for a joyous lap of honour.' It's another coup for LiveHouse, following hot on the heels of this month's announcement that Doves are to perform all the songs from their new album greatest hits album So Here We Are on Friday, December 12. It also follows previous announcements of shows by Idlewild, who play the venue on December 6, while fellow Scottish rockers Franz Ferdinand have been announced for a week after the Kaiser Chiefs show, on February 24, 2026. LiveHouse boss Gus Robb said: 'It's another big gig for LiveHouse, we're very pleased to have attracted Kaiser Chiefs to Dundee. 'And there's lots more to come. From a standing start just over a year ago we've got international conferences and a few big shows, and we're just scratching the surface. 'It proves that Dundee will be a great place for live music again and big bands are happy to come.' Tickets for the show go on sale to the public next Friday at 9am through See Tickets and Gigs in Scotland.

Inside Katie Price and Peter Andre's bitter 16-year feud and comments that pushed star to explode as exes go to war
FROM reality TV sweethearts to bitter legal battles, Katie Price and Peter Andre's war of words has spanned 16 years. And, judging by recent events, it's far from over. 8 Peter Andre and Katie Price's bitter war has exploded Credit: Getty - Contributor 8 The exes got married in 2005 after meeting on I'm A Celebrity Credit: ITV 2 8 Katie and Peter welcomed baby boy Junior later that year Credit: PA:Press Association Their romance began in the Australian jungle, where Katie and Peter fell in love during I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2004. They were Britain's golden couple - marrying in 2005 at Highclere Castle, welcoming two children, Junior and Princess, and sharing their life with the public. But since their 2009 split, the pair have been locked in one of the most public celebrity feuds of the past two decades. Last night Peter hit out at his ex's "lies" in a shock social media rant, after remaining mostly silent on the feud for more than a decade. Peter, 52, issued a scathing statement rejecting Katie's call for a truce — and making explosive claims about their past. Katie broke her silence and hit back, declaring she 'will no longer be gaslighted and bullied' and that the issue is 'now in her lawyers' hands.' Peter Andre's statement in full Peter hit back after Katie's claims on her recent podcast that she was being frozen out of Princess's career - despite Princess living with her. Peter wrote on Instagram: "For sixteen years I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silence has been incredibly frustrating. "That ends today. "The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. "For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood. "In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before out of respect for my children." "In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases found my ex wife had made false claims. She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise, to me and my management. "The same falsehoods are being repeated today." "Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations that I have yet to address. Those will be dealt with in the coming months." His statement came just hours after Katie claimed that Princess was living with her on her latest podcast. She said: "I've missed out so much with Princess. I haven't watched the show, but, people have told me how proud I should be of the kids and how they Princess does talk highly of me all the way through it so although I'm not in the show she speaks about me all the time which is really sweet. "But why wouldn't she, because she lives with me. And this is another thing I need to clear up, the kids have never lived just with Pete, we've shared the kids." Here's how the feud unfolded over the years. Libel damages (2011) Two years after their split Katie issued a public apology after accusing Peter of cheating and faking his feelings during their marriage. He had begun defamation proceedings in 2009 over remarks she made to Heat magazine and on The Graham Norton Show. Katie was ordered to pay 'substantial' damages, which Peter's solicitor confirmed would go into a trust fund for Katie's eldest son, Harvey Price. Fake family man claims (2013) 8 Katie, with Pete and Harvey in 2004 Credit: Rex That Christmas, Katie appeared to target Peter in a series of tweets. She said: 'What kind of Dad doesn't let their children see their mum not even 1 day over Christmas when the children want 2 c their mum #fakefamilyman.' She also messaged a follower, saying: 'So selfish. Can someone remind him he has a son called Harvey that calls him dad or was that just for show too'. Calling Emily Andre 'disgusting' (2022) In early 2022, Katie launched an Instagram tirade against Peter's wife, Dr Emily Andre, before quickly deleting the post. She shared Emily's magazine cover shoot and branded her a 'disgusting person', writing: 'My mouth has been shut for so long but I've had enough of people selling stories on me and particularly this so called woman @dr_emily_official. 'Always said I don't want to be famous yet doesn't do too bad to stay away from media and TV and now trying to make a career out of it. 'So cringe she has used my children to make money in photo shoots yet covers her own children's faces up!' 8 Peter married Emily in 2015 and they have three kids Credit: Instagram / @peterandre Katie also claimed Emily is a doctor who 'doesn't have a clue about a mental health" and accused her of being 'jealous.' She went on: 'Oh and stopped my daughter from visiting me at The Priory when she wanted to see her mum. She is so jealous of my relationship I have with Princess and puts me down. 'Emily you are not and never will be my kids' parent so mind your own business… I think you're a disgusting person so stop trying to interfere in my life.' Branding Pete 'a nobody' (2024) Appearing on the podcast Anything Goes with James English last year, Katie claimed Peter 'was no one before he went in the jungle'. She added: 'When we did jobs together I'd always get more money, make sure we had separate contracts. 'I think he found that a bit hard as well. I was like well hang on you've just turned up in the jungle, I've already got a career going on. You had a song like, how many years ago? you need to earn it. this is the truth, I don't care what anyone says I made Pete again. I made him. 8 Katie said it was his 'lucky day' when he met her in I'm A Celebrity Credit: Rex 'He was no one before he went in the jungle and that's the truth, that's not me being a b****. He done that one hit, like 10 years ago and I think he forgets where he came from.' Then on Louis Theroux's podcast that same year, Katie launched another blistering attack. Taking a swipe about his singing career, she said: 'Who was he? 'I was already like established. He met me and it was his lucky day. So we always had separate contracts. There's no way I'm splitting half and half, no thanks.' Asked if they were on good terms, she added bluntly: 'Don't speak to him.' When questioned on the reason, she said: 'Just don't. It's all through legals. 'He was quite jealous of me working.' Katie cut off (2025) 8 The Sun exclusively revealed the heartbreaking secret rift between mum Katie and daughter Princess Credit: Instagram 8 Telly bosses deliberately cut ex-glamour model Katie out of her daughter's forthcoming ITV2 show, The Princess Diaries Peter hit out after Katie claimed Princess was living with her on her latest podcast. She also claimed Pete had taken control of Princess's career and she had been cut off from supporting her. Princess launched her first reality series, The Princess Diaries, over the weekend, which was filmed earlier this year. Some scenes were filmed in Ibiza and Katie said she was banned from meeting up with Princess despite being on the island at the same time as her. She said: 'I've missed out so much with Princess. I haven't watched the show, but, people have told me how proud I should be of the kids and how they Princess does talk highly of me all the way through it so although I'm not in the show she speaks about me all the time which is really sweet 'But why wouldn't she, because she lives with me. And this is another thing I need to clear up, the kids have never lived just with Pete, we've shared the kids.' Katie has made her feelings clear on her show over recent months that she was annoyed she was 'banned' from appearing in Princess's ITV 2 reality show. And today, she has insisted that she's a 'bloody good mum" to her five children and wants to sit down with Pete to discuss their issues once and for all. The OnlyFans star said : 'There's no reason why both parents just can't be there to support her. Now this isn't about me. I have to clarify this. 'I don't care that I'm not in Princess's show. 'I don't need to raise my profile by being on Princess's show, I do enough stuff. 'All what I want to do, is just whatever my daughter does, and it's the same with Junior, I don't care if I'm in the background, but I want to watch her do her photo shoots, I wanna watch her do her signings, because that's what I did. 'And my mum and you and Nan used to come along and support, and I'm proud of her. 'And I just wanna be there with her because I now I feel that I've missed out on so much. 'Life would be more at peace because I don't have a problem. 'I just think life would be a better place. 'Well, I'm not saying we all have to be best buddies, best friends, but come on. 'For the sake of the children, there's room for everyone to support your kids. 'Do you know what I mean? I'm not saying I have to stand with them and play happy families.'
