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.

Holly Valance splits from billionaire Nick Candy
Australian-born Valance, 42, and billionaire property developer Candy, 52, are said to have broken up in recent weeks, according to The Sun. The couple, who have two daughters, met in 2009 and became engaged two years later before marrying in California in 2012 at a ceremony attended by 300 guests. A family friend told the newspaper: 'This has been a very difficult period for both Nick and Holly, and they are keeping things private out of respect for their family. 'The joint parenting of their two amazing daughters remains their top priority. 'They've had to juggle a demanding lifestyle. Between family, public life, and Nick's intense work commitments, it's been a tough balance. 'This is a family matter and they're doing their best to handle things thoughtfully. 'Privacy is obviously very important to them both, so they can focus on what's best for the family.' Great dinner at Mar-a-Lago! — Nigel Farage MP (@Nigel_Farage) April 8, 2022 A spokesman for Valance said: 'This is a private matter, and there will be no comment. The privacy of all parties involved is respectfully requested' The couple are high-profile figures within Reform UK, and met Donald Trump with party leader Nigel Farage at the US president's Mar-a-Lago resort in 2022. After her stint in the Australian soap Neighbours where she played Felicity 'Flick' Scully from 1999, Valance had a music career, including the UK number one hit single Kiss Kiss released in 2002. She also reached the semi-finals of Strictly Come Dancing in 2011.
