Miss Saigon will run at The Broadway Theatre in New York from Mar 23, 2017 to Jan 14, 2018.
Rachelle Ann is playing Fantine in West End’s Les Misérables until December.
Earlier this month, Rachelle Ann announced she had to pull out of a concert in Manila with Yeng Constantino, Kyla, Angeline Quinto, and KZ Tandingan because “a major project came her way.”
This is a dream come true for Rachelle Ann, who’s been making a name in the West End since her stint as Gigi in the 2014 West End revival of Miss Saigon.
“I’d love to perform on Broadway, too,” Rachelle Ann said in an interview last May. “I like claiming things. So one day, it will happen.”
And it did happen. Congratulations, Rachelle Ann!
