Rachelle will follow the footsteps of Tony award-winning actress Lea Salonga who played the role of Éponine in the 90s. Lea also took on the role of Fantine in the 25th anniversary concert of Les Misérables in 2010. 

 

Rachelle was in Miss Saigon since last year, playing the role of Gigi Van Tranh, but she ended her participation yesterday.

 

The Kapuso star posted a photo of the musical’s original cast of 2014-2015 and wrote on Instagram, “I will surely miss you all.”

The musical theater performer also posted a throwback photo of her call back slips when she auditioned for the musical in 2012.

She said, “I remember my audition for Miss Saigon almost 3 years ago, I didn’t really expect anything. I guess I wanted to try something different. When I got these slips, I couldn’t believe it, especially when they offered me a role (after waiting for a year).”

 

 

Callback slip. I remember my audition for Miss Saigon almost 3 years ago, i didn't really expect anything. I guess I wanted to try something different... When I got these slips, I couldn't believe it, especially when they offered me a role(after waiting for a year). I felt like I didn't want to do it, scared of what might happen...all the insecurities came up. Told myself "i don't think I can do this! I'm not good enough.. I don't even know how to cook(haha!)" but I remembered God's promise that He will be with us wherever we go. He said to just OBEY. So that we will be prosperous and successful in all we do. He said to be strong & courageous! Do not be afraid or discourage.(Joshua1:8-9), so I put my trust in Him. Now it has been more than a year since I left home... I'm glad I did it!!! I really don't care about fame, I'm just proud of what I've become as a person(nagdalaga na ako hehe). This is my last week in Miss Saigon and I know it's going to be an emotional week!!! Thank YOU for everyone who encouraged and believed in me. Salamat po?????? #angNobelaBow #thesaigondiaryofrachelle

The actress added she felt scared during that time and asked God for guidance, “I’m glad I did it!!! I really don’t care about fame, I’m just proud of what I’ve become as a person.”

 

She thanked everyone who believed and supported her. 

Congratulations Rachelle!
