Lea to Rachelle Ann: "Grabe ka"
Internationally acclaimed theater performer Lea Salonga was impressed with the Les Misérables run in Manila.
Les Miz can still make me cry, but only when a great cast is assembled, and the one in Manila right now is wonderful. Congrats, all!

The Filipina singer-actress also expressed her pride for fellow Filipina Rachelle Ann Go who plays Fantine.
Grabe ka, @gorachelleann. To say that I'm proud of you is an understatement.
