The Voice Kids Philippines season 2 Esang de Torres caught the attention of producer Cameron Mackintosh during his visit to Manila, and she is now one of the alternates for little Cosette in the Manila run of Les Miserables. With her is fellow Filipino Rachelle, who plays Fantine. A Filipino-Australian, Chloe De Los Santos, also played little Cosette.
Little Cosette sings the sweet song "Castle On A Cloud." Young Cosette lives with the villainous Thénardiers while her mother Fantine works to support her. When Fantine falls to misfortune, Cosette is rescued by Jean Valjean, a reformed ex-convict on the run from the relentless Inspector Javert.
Meanwhile on her Official Twitter account, the Broadway diva Lea Salonga who also potrayed the role of Cosette and Fantine retweeted MJ Felipe's post. The proud Lea captioned it as: 'This picture makes it even more real. Go, @essangdetorres!!! i am proud of you!!!'
Lea remembered Esang de Torres as her young version when she auditioned for the second season of The Voice Kids, where Esang sang "Home" from The Wiz.
Les Miserables Manila will run until May 1 at the Theatre at Solaire. Tickets are available on Ticket World.
