Lea is the singing voices of 2 iconic Disney Princesses - Princess Jasmine of Aladdin & Mulan..💖💞 She's Philippines 🇵🇭 Treasure.🌟🔥 She is known in the world of Broadway musical.💐💕 .
The video you are reacting to may have been posted 12 years ago but it was the filming of a concert in 1995. Lea started in musical theater when she was 7 years old in the Philippines. She played her first lead role at age 9 (ANNIE) and released her first album at age 10 which certified gold. Lea hosted a musical tv show from ages 12-14. Throughout her childhood and teens she did theater, films, tv, concerts and albums. She became an international star when she originated the role of Kim in MISS SAIGON in London at age 18, on Broadway at age 20, and then won all the major theater awards for her performances. (She is often called "The Pride of the Philippines" because her success with MISS SAIGON put the Philippines on the map and brought attention to the amazing talent in the country.) She is the singing voice of two Disney princesses: Jasmine and Mulan. There are many, many more credits, but let's just say she has been working for over 43 years now (she just turned 50 earlier this year). Lea was the first Asian (and first person of color) to play Eponine in LES MISERABLES on Broadway in 1993. I believe she was the first person of color to play a lead role in LES MISERABLES on Broadway. Lea was asked to play Eponine in the LES MISERABLES 10th Anniversary Dream Cast concert in 1995 (which is where this video is from). Lea replaced as Fantine in the Broadway revival of LES MISERABLES in 2007 and then was part of the 25th Anniversary concert in 2010. Lea is one of very few people that took part in both anniversary concerts. Hope you check out some of her other performances. She has MANY great ones! She does a lot of musical theater songs, but she has sung other genres.
Lea is the original Kim in the musical Miss Saigon in both London's West End debuting at the tender age of 18 (She's 50 now) then moving on to Broadway in New York. Her debut role won her the Laurence Olivier and Tony Awards, among others. She was then cast as Eponine in Les Miz where she became the first non-caucasian to play the role. She's likewise a Disney legend providing the singing voice of Princess Jasmine in Disney's Aladdin and Fa Mulan in Mulan. Her credentials just goes on and on. She's considered a national treasure and a living legend in the Philippines.
Lea was the first Asian to be cast in the musical theatre production of Les Miserables on Broadway. This video was from the 10th anniversary concert in the Royal Albert Hall in London, 1995, with a handpicked 'dream cast' from the show. This is widely regarded as the standard for 'On My Own.' Later on Lea played Fantine in Les Mis and came back to sing 'I Dreamed a Dream' in the 25th anniversary concert.
Samantha LIsa, you were just at a Theatre. It came into your home. You will never forget her or this performance. It gets better and better each time you listen to this.
Leah Salonga is a Filipina singer. The only Asian that has won the Prestigious Lawrence Olivier award in London and the Tony Awards in New York. World famous in the Stage theatre world!
Samantha, love your channel and Lea was Disney's voice in many of its movies, so you can also watch her sing "Don't cry for me Argentina". She can truly capture your emotions to her singing this iconic song. By the way, your daughter's eyes and look is a spitting image of you. God bless
Lea is a broadway and disney superstar!! If you have watched Aladdin or Mulan you have heard her , the only 2 time disney princess. I get chills every time I watch this video. What an inspiration she has been to the legion of magnificent singers from the Philippines. Well done Sam & Ebony 💗💗💗💗
Just a slight disagreement with you. Her singing is pristine. Her acting skills are not as good as people would think. You can find some scenes of her trying acting in movies. It's not good. Lots of singers have tried acting and were sub-par. I really don't think Lea cares that much if she is good at acting, anyway.
Lea (pronounced Lay-ah) is the pride of the Philippines. For me she along with Sierra Boggess are the greatest theater performers of this generation. Lea’s renditions if Les Mis, On My Own and I Dreamed a Dream are flawless, also Don’t Cry for me Argentina from Evita. A true treasure.
Samantha, very moving reaction to a heartfelt performance by Lea, I highly recommend you next watch her performing " I dreamed a dream" from a different production of the same classic, enjoy!!
Lea originated the role of Kim in MISS SAIGON, she won the Olivier and Tony awards Best Actress in a musical. She then became known as the singing voice of most Disney princesses. She toured with Les Misérables playing Eponine and Fantine. She is from the Philippines. Ciao!
Lea Salonga is a legendary icon in Broadway and West End and winner of Laurence Olivier and Tony in the original version of Miss Saigon. She is the voice of Disney’s Aladdin and Mullan. You need years to dig in on her theatrical profile and achievements etc etc
Shes a lead role as kim in a broadway musical london and broadway as kim..she also original sang a whole new world in disney Aladin and Mulan reflection..shes only filipino won a Tony and Olivier award for best Actress in a single performace as well Drama Desk award
I like the format of your videos. You usually begin by telling the viewers who you're going to react to. After a minute or two, you introduce yourself by saying, "If you're new, hi my name is Samantha..." Then the video/reaction proper. If we're lucky enough there's an occasional sprinkling of Ebony here and there😀 (I really adore your daughter❤). And then there's the conclusion. Great job as always! Continue to react to Ms. Lea Salonga.
Via Dolorosa Icon influencer of Philippines music the one and only that didn't came from street competitions one & only Filipino Disney Hall of famer twice sang for them a whole new world & reflection
I Don't see if you've done - Postmodern Jukebox versions of "Creep" and "Dream On" If you haven't seen Voice Plays medley from "The Little Mermaid" it's a really fun watch.

Hi Samantha, I just saw your reaction, loved it! I don't know if you're familiar with the story, but Lea is playing a girl who is in love with someone who only sees her as a friend. At the end of the show she jumps in front of him and takes a bullet, saving his life. He holds her in his arms as she is dying but she is happy that she can finally feel him holding her. I cry every time but it's beautiful, this is from the same concert performance as On My Own. A LITTLE FALL OF RAIN-Lea Salonga/Michael Ball ua-cam.com/video/IyPy2Iqq-NM/v-deo.html
