From "Here Comes the Boom" to "Miss Saigon," Charice "might" play Kim

Philippine international singing and YouTube sensation "might" bag the coveted role Kim breathed to life and popularized by Lea Salonga in the award-winning musical "Miss Saigon." Lea Salonga went on to win various international awards too, an Olivier and a Tony statuette among them.

Charice might play Kim as it is rumored that a movie version is in the works for the beloved Asian-fronted musical. The director of the "upcoming" film is said to be Lee Daniels of the "Precious" fame, the movie highly supported by media mogul Oprah Winfrey. Oprah also highly supported Charice and was paramount in Charice's break into Hollywood following the latter's appearance on Oprah's show and her introduction to record producer David Foster.

If Charice gets Kim's role, this just might be her biggest break. Charice has been making waves in the international scene, bagging Sunshine Corazaon for "Glee" and a number of Hollywood movies, "Here Comes the Boom" opposite Salma Hayek coming soon, and a string of hits in the music charts, "Pyramid" a noted single.
