Filipino singer-actress Rachelle Ann Go will get to play Fantine for her countrymen when Cameron Mackintosh’s production of Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil’s musical “Les Miserables” is staged in Manila next year.

The Asian tour of “Les Miz” will be launched in Manila in March 2016, according to Concertus Manila.

Go told the Inquirer in an e-mail interview that playing Fantine “is a dream come true.”

“The music is incredibly moving and the story is so touching… it’s an honor to be part of it every night,” she said. “I still get goosebumps when I hear the show’s overture. It makes me feel proud to be part of such an inspiring show.”

The Manila season is presented by Smart Infinity. Tickets are available at all TicketWorld outlets starting Sept. 29. Bayani San Diego Jr.
