Go joined the musical as Fantine in 2015 for the production’s 30th anniversary in London. Prior to first taking on the iconic role, she performed as Gigi Van Tranh in the West End run of “Miss Saigon.”

Before returning to “Les Miserables,” she last starred in the West End production of “Hamilton,” in which she portrayed the title character, Alexander Hamilton’s wife, Eliza Schuyler.  /ra
