'Introducing BRAND NEW LesMizArena casting for Europe and Australia', said Les Misérables in a post on November 1.
Go first played the role of the hardworking, unwed mother in the 30th-anniversary staging of the musical at the Queen's Theatre—now the Sondheim Theatre—in London from 2015 to 2016. This overlapped with her performance in the Manila leg of its Asian tour that ran from March to May 2016 at The Theatre at Solaire. She was again cast as Fantine during the 2020 run of Les Misérables and the 2021 run of Les Misérables: The All-Stars Concert, both at the Sondheim Theatre; as well as the U.K. and Ireland tours of the renowned musical in 2022.

Other performances under the Filipina artist's belt are as Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton in both the West End and international tour of Hamilton; Miss Saigon's Gigi on Broadway and West End; and Jane Porter in the Philippine production of Tarzan.
"Here we go again, Les Misérables, I am so excited to play Fantine for the arena tour in Australia next year," Go said in a post following the announcement.
