She joins an international cast led by Geronimo Rauch as Jean Valjean and Jeremy Secomb as Javert. Singaporean performer Nathania Ong will appear as Eponine, alongside Red Concepcion as Thenardier and Na-Young Jeon as Fantine. The cast also includes Will Callan as Marius, Lulu-Mae Pears as Cosette and Harry Chandler as Enjolras.
The Arena Spectacular production was conceived by producer Cameron Mackintosh to mark the 40th anniversary of the long-running musical, which is based on Victor Hugo’s novel and features music by Claude-Michel Schonberg and lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer.
Unlike traditional stagings, this version has been reimagined for larger venues, with expanded staging, lighting and projections designed to create a more cinematic, concert-like experience.
Since premiering in the UK and Europe in 2024, the production has toured extensively, selling more than one million tickets worldwide and playing to full houses in cities including Manila, Shanghai, Sydney and Tokyo. After its Singapore run, the show is set to return to Europe, with stops at London’s Royal Albert Hall and New York’s Radio City Music Hall.
Les Miserables remains one of the world’s longest-running musicals, with Mackintosh’s original production continuing its record-breaking run in London’s West End alongside multiple international productions.
The show is a rare chance for Singapore audiences to see Salonga revisit the musical that helped define her career.
