SCREENGRAB from Rachelle Ann Go’s Instagram account
A day after the news that the iconic musical Les Miserables is coming to Manila in 2016 broke out, singer-actress Rachelle Ann Go on Thursday took to Instagram to share her excitement over playing the role of Fantine before her fellow Filipinos.
“Words can’t describe what I’m feeling… I’m coming home next year to play Fantine in my hometown with the Australian cast! How amazing is that?!” Go said.
The singer said she specifically prayed that the production be staged in the country, adding that she was looking forward to share her performance to a Filipino audience.
“I’m excited to be with my loved ones and share with everyone what I’ve been doing here in London. I actually prayed for this to happen because I really miss my family! Waah! God is so good😍 p.s. when you pray it’s so important to be specific hehe,” she added.
Go was chosen to play the role of Fantine in London’s West End production of Les Miserables in May, and made her debut in June. She also played the role of Gigi in West End revival of Miss Saigon, which earned her the Whatsonstage Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical and Best Featured Actress in the BroadwayWorld West End awards.
Les Miserables in Manila will begin its run on March 11, 2016 at The Theatre at Solaire Resort and Casino in Parañaque. Tickets will be on sale starting Sept. 29. YG/RAM
