I saw her interview when she said that after her Miss Saigon success, she didn’t get any big role offers afterwards. Then when this opportunity to play the role of Eponine came up, people were just waiting for her to mess up, and this was her opportunity to silence all her critics. Her performance as Eponine became the standard for the others who played the role. Then on the 25th anniversary of Les Mis, she was invited to play the role of Fantine, which she also played with elegance and finesse along with Alfie Boe.
Lea replaced as Fantine in the LES MISERABLES Broadway revival in 2007 and then she was asked to play Fantine in the 25th anniversary concert in 2010. Lea might have been the only actor to be in the 10th anniversary and 25th anniversary concerts as two different leading roles.
This performance isn't from 11 years ago. This is from the LES MISERABLES 10th Anniversary Dream Cast Concert in 1995. Lea was 24 (she was born Feb 22, 1971). Lea was the first Asian woman to play Eponine on Broadway in 1993 and she was asked to be part of the 10th Anniversary Dream Cast concert. (I'm pretty sure she was the only person of color in that concert.) Lots of requests for more Lea reactions! I'd love to see more, too. For anyone who wants to know more about Lea, I highly recommend this video about Lea from 2018 (right around her 40th anniversary concert). There are interviews with Lea, friends, family and colleagues and you learn about her career (she started at age 7) and life up until the present: ua-cam.com/video/UiBX-Fq8GCc/v-deo.html
She is the definitive Eponine, but also played Fantine in Broadway's revival of Les Mis in 2006. A Tony and Laurence Olivier awards winner for playing Kim in Miss Saigon, she's a legend. Love your reaction, as always Danielle.
For me, she is the best Filipina singer ever. Her voice is crystal clear. No need for subtitles and she sings like a musical storyteller. She’s also the original singing voice of two Disney Princesses, Jasmine and Mulan.
Try to see the whole concert, if you can. It was the 10th anniversary concert, with a full cast and orchestra. Michael Ball, as Marius, singing empty chairs and empty tables is a real tear-jerker
Funny when you said “She takes you to another world” cuz you better react to her singing “A Whole New World” Sharing love from the Philippines. ♥️ #SubscriptionSquad
done watching it and it feels like i need to put my jacket on because of the chills all over my body..reflection is one of my fave song that she sang..hope to see you do a reaction on that.. thanks coach..🥰🥰🥰
I am now watching. Happy Sunday everyone from the Philippines to the world! Let’s listen next to Lea’s live song Movie in My Mind with Rachel Ann Go. Also Reflection on the Disney Movie Mulan. ❤️
Lea Salonga is one outstanding artist, singer and performer. She really has full potential since her childhood days. She has the best voice that any young woman would want to have. I had been an avid Lea Salonga fan since my grade school days and I would love to watch her perform Live. I just so proud to see a fellow Countryman being so successful in the Arts and Theater. I am one proud Filipino here. 🇵🇭 Mabuhay Philippines!
Yeah you have Ms. Lea Salonga vibe, very professional, matured, sofisticate, beautiful and words are clear as crystal clear that we don't need subtitles.
I've noticed that you already know lea so well😁 so nice anyways since megamay is almost done then goshh😅 Petition😆😆 for kZ✔️ "Rolling in the deep " and ✔️"One sweet Day" by budakhel and kratina.
New subscriber here. I enjoyed to your reaction and a very good reactor Can I make a request?.. please make a reaction to "Bridge Over Troubled Water (So Hyang Version)" | 4th Impact. #SUBSCRIPTIONSQUAD
Thanks for featuring Filipino talents. Please check out more on Ms Lea Salonga's other performances as well as other Filipino world class artists. Thank you!❤️🇵🇭
LEAH SALONGA made her professional debut in 1978 at the age of seven (7) in the musical The King and I with Repertory Philippines. She was a consistent honor student in school- in fact even finished VALEDICTORIAN of her High School class. Prior to going to London , Leah was alredy a big celebrity in the Phils, as a TV and stage performer and even had her own TV show. Even if you remove all her experiences, she's a brilliant person that gives her all the confidence.
Hi coachelle. I'm hoping you can watch and review the performance of Morissette when she was in The Voice Philippines. Trust me, you will see her growth. Lea Salonga was also the judge in the said competition.
have you seen the video where she is auditioning for 'Miss Saigon'? so pure. I think she is only 15 or 16 in that video too... her tone is so beautiful.
This was more than 11 years ago, this was 1995, the Les Mis 10th anniversary concert in the Royal Albert Hall with a handpicked 'dream cast'. Possibly you're confusing it with the 25th anniversary concert where Lea sang Fantine's "I Dreamed a Dream".
As previously mentioned this is the Dream Cast show. She is Eponine. It is very worth watching this whole thing. I think I've watched at least 3 or 4 times a year. I won't spoil the end but OH MY!.
Thanks for reacting filipino artists which I think you excite most....You can also react to her Duet with Brad Cane the disney song.. A WHOLE NEW WOLD AFTER 23 YEARS... this is the original...thank you ones again and God Bless.
She is so awesome! Such beautiful voice and singing! Thanks for your reaction! ❤ Have you seen and heard the swedish singer Helen Sjöholm singing "Du måste finnas" (You must exist) from her live performance in Minnesota (there is english subtitles)? It's about a swedish immigrant in America who lost her child and are in this new land and she is struggling with her faith in God and questioning if God really exist. If you have not seen it, I hope you can make a reaction video. It's so powerful and Helen's performance is so amazing. Thank you again. Greetings from Sweden/Egon
Oh one interesting tidbit; Lea Salonga mentioned Morisette to Alan Menken so Disney arranged for Mori to meet the legendary composer with Will Smith when they were in Japan. You know Lea sang the original theme song of the movie (for the official soundtrack). Morissette & Darren Espanto were chosen to sing the new rendition of A Whole New World for the promotion of Alladin in the Philippines.
Please react again to ms. Lea salonga miss saigon audition and rehearsal.. the disney princess was born! thanks, new subscriber here from the philippines🇵🇭
This performance was the 15th anniversary if LesMis and it isnt 11 years ago. 25th anniversry is 11 years ago where she played Fanitine and not eponine.

Her performance as Eponine became the standard for the others who played the role. Then on the 25th anniversary of Les Mis, she was invited to play the role of Fantine, which she also played with elegance and finesse along with Alfie Boe.
Just because of being Asian.
Lea replaced as Fantine in the LES MISERABLES Broadway revival in 2007 and then she was asked to play Fantine in the 25th anniversary concert in 2010. Lea might have been the only actor to be in the 10th anniversary and 25th anniversary concerts as two different leading roles.
Thanks for sharing
And she suppose to do a concert with Alfie Boe but will be rescheduled i hope because of the pandemic

You should react to her "The movie in my mind" performance with another Filipino Rachelle Ann Go.
I promise you its Incredibly incredible!!!!
She is a legend. When she opens her mouth, the words are so crystal clear 😍
Lea is a Gem- rare,flawless,multi-faceted & God gifted with angelic voice! She's uniquely a legend & we proudly

I’m getting goosebumps too!! Lea is the gold standard, isn’t she?💥
Me too, she the only singer when I heard her sing I have always a goosebumps! 🥰
She can still sing this song with so much power. I think her technique even got better with age.
She is the definitive Eponine, but also played Fantine in Broadway's revival of Les Mis in 2006. A Tony and Laurence Olivier awards winner for playing Kim in Miss Saigon, she's a legend. Love your reaction, as always Danielle.

Watch Her Audition for the Miss Saigon role..
As previously mentioned this is the Dream Cast show. She is Eponine. It is very worth watching this whole thing. I think I've watched at least 3 or 4 times a year. I won't spoil the end but OH MY!.
GOOSEBUMPS fr
She sounds so much like Samantha Barks from the 25th Anniversary Special of Les Mis. back in 2010
I used to watch this anniversary on PBS everytime it came on. Lol
The video was only posted 11years ago but this video is from 1995 or 1996 if I’m not mistaken. This is from the 10th anniversary concert.
Movie I my mind anniversary with Rachel Ann go you will lose your mind. I think it’s the best rendition ever

If you have not seen it, I hope you can make a reaction video. It's so powerful and Helen's performance is so amazing. Thank you again. Greetings from Sweden/Egon
