Thuy's Arrival! Korean Star Kwang-Ho Hong Completes the Cast of the New Revival of Miss Saigon in London

Casting is complete for the new West End revival of Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg’s Miss Saigon. Korean star Kwang-Ho Hong will join the previously announced cast as Thuy, Kim's cousin who becomes an officer in the Communist Vietnamese government. Directed by Laurence Connor, Miss Saigon will begin previews on May 3 at London’s Prince Edward Theatre.

A popular solo music artist in Korea, Kwang-Ho Hong's stage credits include The Phantom of the Opera, Jekyll & Hyde and Man of La Mancha.

In addition to Kwang-Ho Hong, the cast of Miss Saigon features Jon Jon Briones as The Engineer, Eva Noblezada as Kim, Alistair Brammer as Chris, Tamsin Carroll as Ellen, Hugh Maynard as John and Rachelle Ann Go as Gigi. Set in 1975 during the final days of the American occupation of Saigon, Miss Saigon is an epic love story about the relationship between an American GI and a young Vietnamese woman. Orphaned by war, 17-year-old Kim is forced to work as a bar girl in a sleazy Saigon nightclub, owned by a notorious wheeler-dealer known as "The Engineer." John, an American GI, buys his friend Chris the services of Kim for the night—a night that will change their lives forever.
