Boublil and Schönberg's musical tells the tragic tale of young bar girl Kim, orphaned by the Vietnam war, who falls in love with an American GI called Chris – but their lives are torn apart by the fall of Saigon.

Eva Noblezada and Jon Jon Briones will continue their roles in New York. For 50-year-old Briones, who has been in the show since its premiere, the production will mark his Broadway debut.
