Sheffield Theatres Announce Miss Saigon

Sheffield Theatres have announced the first regional production of Boublil and Schönberg’s legendary musical Miss Saigon to be staged in the iconic Crucible Theatre, Sheffield by special arrangement with Cameron Mackintosh.

Joanna Ampil, who has previously played Kim in the London, Sydney, UK touring and 10th anniversary productions of Miss Saigon, will be cast as The Engineer in this new production co-directed by Robert Hastie and Anthony Lau. Further casting and creative team to be announced. Miss Saigon will run Saturday 8 July 2023 – Saturday 12 August 2023.

Also announced is the UK premiere of Eve Leigh’s Wildfire Road in Sheffield’s newly-named Tanya Moiseiwitsch Playhouse.  It will run Saturday 4 March – Saturday 18 March 2023.

       

Robert Hastie, Artistic Director of Sheffield Theatres, said: ‘As we reach the culmination of our 50th anniversary year we are proud to announce new productions that continue our quest to give Sheffield audiences thrilling experiences they can only get in the theatre. A new production of Miss Saigon – the first in the UK to be given permission to explore new approaches to staging and casting since the original 1989 production – will light up the Crucible in Summer 2023. Anthony and I are thrilled to be co-directing Boublil and Schönberg’s iconic show, and could not be more excited to be welcoming Joanna Ampil to Sheffield to play The Engineer. 

And as ever at Sheffield Theatres the classic sits alongside the brand new, with a mind-bending new play from Eve Leigh taking audiences to new heights in the Playhouse, our flexible, intimate space recently renamed in honour of our founding designer, Tanya Moiseiwitsch.
