Les Misérables: The World Tour Spectacular heads to Manila, featuring a cast that blends West End and Broadway veterans with Filipino talent, including Gerónimo Rauch as Jean Valjean and Lea Salonga as Madame Thénardier.

Additional Filipino performers were cast through Manila auditions for pivotal roles, such as Lulu-Mae Pears as Cosette, Will Callan as Marius, and Earl Carpenter as the Bishop of Digne, enriching the local lineup.

Rauch’s prior credits include leading roles in The Phantom of the Opera and Jesus Christ Superstar, with Secomb bringing Broadway and West End experience from titles like Sweeney Todd and Sister Act.

Since its September 2024 UK/Europe opening, the world tour has sold more than a million tickets across 30 cities, with record performances in Australia and Japan and a Shanghai stop before Manila and Singapore.

The Manila season is produced by Cameron Mackintosh and Nick Grace Management, with GMG Productions presenting the Manila engagement.
