Rachelle Ann Go and husband Martin Spies' London home has a 'conservatory'
It was a dream come true for Rachelle Ann Go to play Fantine in the West End production of "Les Miserables" in London.
But since curtains had to close due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the international stage theater actress was just very grateful to spend some quality time with her husband Martin Spies in their new London home.
"Ngayon lang talaga ako nagkaroon ng normal time with the husband, nagluluto dinner together, parang first time namin parang ngayon lang kami kinasal talaga," Rachel said during her morning kuwentuhan with GMA-7's "Unang Hirit."
Rachelle has been very hands-on in decorating their London home since moving in last February. She talked about how sweet Martin was for letting her do whatever she pleased.
"Actually nahahalo-halo 'yung gusto namin — 'yung gusto ko — nasusunod talaga 'yung wife ano?" Rachel said.
"Talagang gusto lang namin, very chill...Ang aming tema a very warm house, country house, gan'yan, rustic," she added.
Rachel also gave Kapuso viewers a closer look at a charming part of their house called a "conservatory."
"This is one of my favorite spots, 'yung conservatory namin. We spend our afternoon here, reading, building quality time with the husband," she said.
The West End production of "Les Miserables" was set to open last March, but theaters all over the world were closed in the hope of arresting the spread of COVID-19.
Rachel shared how excited she was to play Fantine, which was her "dream role."
"I got back here around February, tapos diretso na akong rehearsal for 'Les Miserables.' I only had three days of rehearsals. Diretso na ko. We opened on March 2, soon after 2 weeks nagsarado na," Rachel said.
"Dream come true talaga, 'nung first time kong napanuod 'yun — Actually kin-laim ko 'yun — when I saw Fantine, sabi ko, 'That's the role I'm gonna do," she added.
"So talagang dream come true talaga for me and its just sad, you know, that this pandemic happened. We had to close the show, at hindi lang Les Miz — lahat ng shows actually sa West End and even on Broadway, so its really sad, of course, for a lot of people," she said.
