"And to the whole Les Miserables company, thank you for being so amazing and for all the support and encouragement! What a dream come true to be part of this phenomenal long running show. I am so blessed! Cheers!"
In her Twitter account, Rachelle thanked her fans for their support.
Thank you very much! I feel all your love?????? https://t.co/xzC1uNJEFv
