Last month, the production announced that Rachelle was taking on the role of Fantine in "Les Miserables," which like "Miss Saigon" is run by renowned theatrical producer Sir Cameron MacKintosh.

 

Rachelle won multiple awards for her portrayal of Gigi, including the Whatsonstage Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical and Best Featured Actress in the BroadwayWorld West End awards.

 

She once again follows in the footsteps of Filipina stage superstar Lea Salonga, who portrayed Kim in "Miss Saigon" before starring as Eponine in "Les Miserables" in 1993.

 

After Rachelle voiced out her nervousness via social media, the veteran Broadway performer and Filipina singer expressed her pride and support to 'Les Miserables'' newest Fantine, as she has always done ever since Rachelle entered the musical stage performing arts.

 

@gorachelleann YOU WILL BE AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Toi toi toi!!! Break a leg!!! A million blessings unto you!!!
