I just love how Waleska is so knowledgeable when it comes to theater. I love listening to her and learning from her.

[@glorietaevangelista6174]

so true. i 2nd to u👍❤️

[@shenggaibabiera7545]

Yes! You got it! She's like telling a bed time story that you would want to listen to it.

[@kcbramble]

I hate to differ about being knowledgeable about this show in particular... first, they are appearing in a promo show for the musical, and they are 2 different characters in the musical: Rachelle (the replacement for character Gigi, who appears only in this scene in the entire musical) is NOT a replacement for Lea's character (lead character Kim, present in all the show - Lea's replacement was Eva Noblezada) . Second, you're NOT mentally exhausted at this point, as this song comes in the first 15 minutes of the show.....it's the beginning of what leads you to exhaustion. This is a juxtaposition of a character who'd done this for a long time - Gigi- and a new girl in the bar - Kim - who both have the same dream of leaving that lifestyle. I wish Waleska had done a bit of prep work, but.... she didn't.

[@salvadoroars]

Yeah. Some theatre geeks can be annoying like their gatekeeping sometimes hahaha. But waleska is great

[@foxylady8828]

Rachel Anne Go is actually playing Gigi and not Kim. But she is still Blessed as she was able to have a duet with miss Lea Salonga. Still they both represent the Philippines internationally and we are so proud to what they have become.

[@cookingmadesimple9746]

i think the original gigi is monique wilson. childhood friend of lea

[@evelynjayme4671]

Isay Alvarez and Janine Desiderio were the Gigi’s during Lea’s time , for a couple of years .

[@cookingmadesimple9746]

@@evelynjayme4671 isay alvarez is the original west end cast while marina chapa is the original broadway cast. monique wilson(understudy for the role of kim) is the original west end cast.janine desiderio is not included in both. 2014 west end and 2017 broadway cast for the role gigi was played by rachelle anne go.

[@pawbelen7478]

Monique Wilson is the understudy of Lea's role: Kim.

[@cyprusviajante5167]

MONIQUE IS ALSO A FILIPINA ...

[@alexiagabriel1724]

Lea originated the role of Kim in both West End and Broadway. Rachelle Ann was given the role of Gigi in Ms. Saigon's revival, first in West End and later on in Broadway. This duet was a special number in the 25th Anniversary Gala of Miss Saigon, held in London. At the time, Rachelle is the current Gigi.

[@sinabonz8108]

I saw Rachelle preform live as Fantine from Les Mis and it was honestly one of the best performances I’ve ever seen, I couldn’t help but cry

[@shenggaibabiera7545]

You're very lucky. I'm jealous. 😭😭😭😭

[@imdreamingofawhite]

The reason why the crowd broke out into applause when Rachelle was singing was because at that moment she broke character and decided to do it in a different way from what is canon. You can see that Lea looked proud and was delighted by what Rachelle did. In that instance, Lea broke character as well and reacted in pleasure to what her friend was doing. :)

[@gregcanares8591]

she did that intentional.

[@Caanwe6]

I read somewhere,she was given permission by the songwriter to break form.

[@salvadoroars]

It's a gala performance after the real show. A special performance for the 25th anniv where they brought back some of the original cast to perform some songs. It's a 20 min special. Simon Bowman was there too. Lea and him performed Solo Saxophone with the new Kim and Chris - Eva and Alistair. Jonathan Pryce also performed The American Dream with the current Engineer- Jonjon Briones. The showrunners allowed them to do their own thing since it's like a concert treat for the audience.

[@leticiachiok8057]

Rachelle Ann Go played the role of "Gigi" fabulously that even Lea Salonga from the original cast (25 years ago) was astonished with her vocal capability. Bravo to these world-class artists.

[@bryantpark88]

Lea was like a proud momma to Rachelle here especially when Rachelle belted lol. You can say that Rachelle was sort of Lea's Protege. Lea was the one who encouraged Rachele to audition for Miss Saigon during the Manila casting after watching her play the role of Ariel in the Manila production of Disney's The Little Mermaid. This performance was during the 25th Anniversary Gala Concert that proceeded immediately after the actual show on West End. In one interview, Lea mentioned that they were given the liberty to perform the songs however they wanted so this is not how it is actually performed in the musical. Close but they were allowed to break character.

[@eduardochavacano]

the Vietnamese girl is not even half of the talent of Lea Salonga.

[@carijut4792]

Ok

[@MrSuperralph23]

​@@eduardochavacanothere is no Vietnamese there. Both are Filipinos!

[@kk0726]

I just love how Efra looked at Waleska while watching the video. You know he's a proud brother ❤️

[@ninaclarizcatacutan9382]

I immediately felt giddy as soon as I saw the thumbnail of the reaction video! Rachelle was known in the early 2000’s as a pop singer and singing mostly Mariah Carey’s. However, when she made the shift to theater, her vocal prowess grew larger and she successfully followed the fame Lea received in West End. Im still hoping I can watch her in Hamilton West End but London is in Tier 3 lockdown!! Ugghhh!

[@joshuaalcobar1480]

Yes.rachelle ann go really rose to fame as pop star..

[@jeanmarielleparro7688]

Both Filipino! So much pride to our country!!!

[@jeanmarielleparro7688]

@Phallus Erectus 👍🙂

[@alexandermoy127]

Rachelle lives in London with her husband. She is next most accomplished Broadway and West End performer from the Philippines and also felt to be the one who followed Lea. I think she is playing in the lead in Hamilton.

[@marcosyu4402]

she played Eliza Schuyler for WestEnd

[@imaacuna5413]

From what I knew, it was Lea Salonga who really pushed Rachelle Ann Go to audition for the production, cause she believed her talent and that she would make it big in theater. No wonder she's looking like a proud mama to Rachelle. ♥️

[@mitzili1411]

I just love how efra touches his waleska's hair like trying to comfort her. Aww what a precious brother. ♥️

[@flordeamortaino3120]

They are both representive of the Philippines internationally.... PROUD OF THEM BOTH.. THE PRIDE OF THE PHILS. .. OMG... I really cried first time to see them together. BRAVO BRAVO... AS IF YOUR IN HEAVEN... Luv u luv u for giving the reactions on them...Thank you Thank you... 🥰🥰🥰

[@jemersondominguez2102]

Agree, seeing Miss Leah Salonga performed in Miss Saigon is phenomenal. I felt the feelings, so heavy and painful. In the end, still feels happy because of a wonderful performance. For sure, you will be given a chance to see them perform live in Miss Saigon. Stay healthy to both and God bless always.

[@graceababan]

Ah Rachelle~ We went to the same school until High School and I always remember how her voice would echo across the entire hallway & in between floors every time she practices with our music teacher. Good ol days.

[@sweetmusx]

Cant wait for y'all to see Lea's perfomance of Dont cry for me Argentina, pleaseeeeeee!

[@aleanahsacar4214]

Rachelle Ann Go is a contemporary of Sarah Geronimo. She left behind a very good singing career in the Philippines to audition for Miss Saigon. Honestly, I am amazed that she was able to change her style of singing to musicals.

[@MrSuperralph23]

Actually she just became a more versatile singer. Coz when she needs to sing Pop, RnB, Rock or other genres, she can still go back to her original foundation. She is a very versatile vocalist. A powerhouse!

Rachelle ann also played Eliza Schuyler in West End Hamilton.

[@jhill74893]

Rachelle Ann Go is the natural successor to Lea Salonga. She does sound very similar. It is so nice to see that there is no rivalry and just pride in being Philipina.

[@jhessamontero1389]

I just love u waleska so genuine in reacting and very knowleagable.🥰😘more reaction plzzz to lea salonga.

[@kitchied]

Efra was right, Rachelle Ann Go played Gigi, not Kim (Lea's role). The Filipina who first played Gigi, alongside Lea, was Isay Alvarez. The impact of their scene singing Movie in My Mind is seeing and hearing the thoughts and emotions of Gigi who's had to battle the world of the bars and prostitution way longer, sort of as a veteran, vis-a-vis Kim who was facing that world for the first time. Hence, it's not actually a scene that's draining...not just yet, as it's the first that starts the emotional debacle. Oh, if memory serves me right, Rachelle played Gigi alongside Eva Noblezada (another of Philippine descent) as Kim and in their run The Engineer was also played by a Filipino, Jon Briones.

[@florelyquimzon8593]

I love you two Waleska and Efra, i really love the way you react Filipino talents. More power to both of you.

That was the Miss Saigon 25th anniversary concert sometine in 2015 as i remember?...just a trivia,,lea played Ms. Saigon in 1990. Eva Noblezada which is also a filipina played the role in Ms.Saigon revival in 2014. Rachel Ann played the Role of Gigi in the Revival. You can also watch Rachels duet with Eva in youtube...

[@knuclear200x]

You shouldn't also miss the youtube recording of the duet between Lea and Claire Moore, "I Still Believe", in the original play at the West End. It's so heart-rending as well !

[@iw4cqx]

This performance was performed in the theater in 2014. It was the 25th anniversary night of Miss Saigon and after the musical there was this gala with some of the original cast from 1989. Rachell Ann Go was in the cast of the 25th as Gigi while Lea Salonga was a guest of honor at the Gala. Together they made this wonderful duet. They hadn't played the same character. Lea in 1989 and for several editions it was Kim while Rachell Gigi

[@jamval2429]

Two of the most amazing singers in the Philippines. Please react to Rachelle ann Go's version of BIG WHITE ROOM. Ty guys for the outstanding reaction.

[@albertoolarte206]

Lea is one of Philippine’ treasures. No one has followed her success on Broadway, winning awards from Tony’s to Laurence Olivier’. And the countless theme songs on Disney’s Princesses she performed on stage and on the silver screen. Also breaking barriers as the first Asian stage performer on Broadway and won best actress at the Tony’s. Nobody from the Philippines gained respect in the International scene like Broadway or Hollywood than Lea Salonga. Watch her strong and hair raising performance at the Les Miserables 20th or 25th ( not so sure ) anniversary where she played as Eponine. Wow oh wow! Great reactions and always loving you both. Perfect chemistry, pleasant to hear and so respectful to the performers. Two thumbs up! 👍 👍❤️

[@ricoaguinaldo1070]

Rachelleann Go played the role of Gigi, the leader of Vietnamese girls in the Cabaret, Kim played by Lea as one of those Vietnamese girls in Cabaret. During the time of Lea as Kim another filipina named Isay Alvarez played the role of Gigi. This time with Rachelle as Gigi the role of Kim is another young filipina based in America her name was Eva Noblezada.

[@paddylodi1724]

They did this after one of the shows in West End for the 25th Anniversary of Miss Saigon in 2016, before the show was reopened on Broadway the year after. Rachelle Ann played Gigi in the show alongside Eva Noblezada who played Kim (all of them Filipinos). Rachelle Ann also played Fantine in Les Mis before Saigon and currently, became the first Elizabeth Hamilton on West End. You guys should see her when it reopens hopefully next year. - Thanks for this reaction!

[@elmer9787]

Bravo to both of them. The wordings of the song are so heavy, yet Lea eloquently played the role with flying colors so too for Rachelle Ann Go. Pls. react to the version of Lea Salonga's " Don't Cry for Me Argentina". Lea is a Philippine Treasure. She is the first Asian Tony Awardee, Sir Laurence Olivier awardee too & many international awards. She is a Broadway Diva & also the Disney Princess. Thanks fr. Manila. Muchas Gracias,

[@raddyreyes538]

Lea and Rachelle performed the song, Movies In My Mind, originated by Lea in Miss Saigon way back in 1995. Rachelle later assumed the same track and like Lea had a successful Broadway career in the West End in London. It is an understatement to say that both of them are excellent singers.

I saw this in the movie theater. This is a mini concert after the musical is finished on the last show of the revival. (They had a theatrical release of the whole thing.) This song is a duet of Gigi and Kim. Gigi (played by Rachelle in the new musical) is a bar girl that's been there for a while. Kim (played by Lea in the original) is new. But they're both playing this dream in their heads that they will get out of this life someday.

As a singer, classical/musical theatre discipline is the best way to go if you wanna become a great singer. Techniques are being taught and being able to sing, act and dance all at the same time would make you grow as an artist! If you shift to being a pop star, you easily can do it. While if you started with pop music, not a lot of people are as brilliant as Rachelle Ann to crossover from pop to theatre. I can see how many talented singers that are in line with pop music that we have here in the Philippines but only a few of them have the potentials to be theatre stars but most of our theatrical artists can sing pop easily without breaking a sweat.

She goes to the city and ends up in a brothel for tourists and American GI’s. This song takes place when she is working the first night. This is definitely a must watch musical!
