Honey, I'm Home!

Yes, after two wonderful weeks in Manila, I'm back in New York and into Les Miz.  While I was home, I saw a show, a rock gig, rehearsals for a musical opening this weekend, ate some great food, got some important errands done, spent quality time with my loves, did a gig, sang on TV and got myself some much needed rest.  Two weeks is never enough time... then again, two years isn't either.

Anyway...

On to Les Miz comings and goings:

- Nehal Joshi and Nikki Renee Daniels are leaving the show this Sunday... replacing them are Anderson Davis and Rona Figueroa

-  The Valjeans on Broadway and the West End will be switching!  John Owen Jones will be coming to Broadway whilst Drew Sarich will be joining the West End company in late October

And that is all!!!

I saw John Owen Jones perform twice as Valjean. Amazing!!! You're in for a treat.

Val Daubert said...

Welcome back. It seems that no matter how long someone is on vacation it's never enough time. LoL. I saw the show last night and it was amazing again. I seen it 3 times now(The 1st time with you in it.). I was surprized that there was hardly anyone at the stage door for autographs. Maybe about 10 people if that. I was the one that said I waited 14 years to see you. I was also being camera person to my new friend I met there. Haha
Take Care

Hi Lea
I just wanted to say I saw you on Thursday night in Les Mis, and you were so incredible, I flew all the way from London just to see you live and it was completely worth it! And thank you for signing my poster! Also I managed to get a copy of Inspired here in the UK and I just love it! All the best!

Happy to hear about Rona returning to the show(I loved her as Eponine). I assume she is Lea's new understudy, right?

Hi Lea! Thanks for guesting on the PhilMusic Podcast! It was a great interview- ran 25 minutes and I couldn't find anything to leave out so I kept it all in.

Is Rona Figueroa also from Filipino descent? If so, then there are three of you Filipinos in the cast. How cool that is...here's to Pinoy power on Broadway!
