Esang de Torres wows Cameron Mackintosh, joins cast of ‘Les Mis’
During legendary producer Cameron Mackintosh’s visit in Manila, another Filipina caught his attention.
Mackintosh said, “Claude-Michel Schönberg, Alain Boublil and I came to Manila 28 years ago to look for the lead star of Miss Saigon and finding the Filipino talents was a miracle. Little did I know that I would return at a time to find more exciting performers. I am thrilled to announce that another Filipino, Esang de Torres, will join my highly acclaimed international cast of the Manila production of Les Misérables.”
Hailed as the Philippines’ youngest concert performer, Esang de Torres caught the attention of the country and the world when she auditioned for The Voice Kids season 2 with her rendition of Home (from The Wiz), ultimately landing a spot in coach Lea Salonga’s team. Lea quickly introduced the young girl to Cameron Mackintosh when he was here for the Gala Night of Les Misérables and the rest is history. Esang is now going through rehearsals and is slated to join the star-studded cast of Les Misérables onstage as one of the alternates for Little Cosette. Boublil and Schönberg’s legendary musical Les
Misérables is now playing to full houses night after night and continues to thrill Filipinos. Presented in Manila by Smart Infinity, the iconic musical playing at the Theatre at Solaire culminates on 1 May. Final tickets have just been released.
