Signature Theatre will present an all-new production of Tony Award-winning musical Miss Saigon, directed by Signature Artistic Director Eric Schaeffer this summer. Running in the MAX Theatre beginning August 15, the production opens the theatre's 2013/14 season with all the adventure, romance, and excitement that Signature promises with the re-imagining of a classic musical. BroadwayWorld brings you a first look at the cast below!

The production will star Signature newcomers Diana Huey as the Vietnamese bar girl Kim, Jason Michael Evans as the American GI Chris, and Thom Sesma as the mysterious club owner who calls himself the Engineer. They are joined by many of Signature's most well-known actors, including Erin Driscoll (Spin, Company) as Ellen, Chris Sizemore (Chess, Sweeney Todd) as John, and Christopher Mueller (Spin, Brother Russia) as Tuey.

Cheryl Daro will play Gigi. Stephen Gregory Smith, James Gardiner, Gannon O'Brien, Vincent Kempski, Nicholas Yenson, Kevin Kulp, Ryan Sellers, Katie Mariko Murray,Tamara Young, and Eunice Bae round out the cast.

Created by the acclaimed writers of Les Miserables (produced by Signature in 2008), this modern, rock-infused adaptation of Puccini's 1904 opera Madame Butterfly explores the ongoing impact of love, loss, and the collision of cultures during the Vietnam War. Originally produced in London's West End in 1989, the show played for an astonishing ten years - a run of over four thousand performances. Broadway success followed in 1991.
