Filipino theatre icon Lea Salonga is heading back to the world of Les Misérables — but this time, in a brand new role.
The multi-award-winning actress and singer has been announced as Madame Thénardier in the Les Misérables The Arena Spectacular, set to run in Singapore from 24 March to 10 May at Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands.
For longtime fans, this casting marks a full-circle moment. Salonga has previously taken on the roles of Éponine and Fantine in the legendary musical, including appearances in its landmark 10th and 25th anniversary concerts. Now, she steps into one of the show’s most mischievous and scene-stealing characters.
