Rachelle is set to play Gigi Van Tranh in the Broadway production of Miss Saigon from March to August. She also played Gigi at West End, as well as Fantine in Les Miserables at West End.
Christine, for her part, is no stranger to working on Lin-Manuel’s plays, as she was in the West End production of In The Heights. In April 2016, she shared the stage with Andrea Bocelli, when he serenaded his Manila fans at a concert.
