Lea Salonga in concert

Last weekend I watched Lea Salonga's concert here in HK.

I'm sure everybody into musical theatre knows her. She originated the role of Kim in "Miss Saigon". Not only was she the first Asian to play Eponine and later on Fantine in "Les Miserables" on Broadway, but she was also the singing voice in "Mulan" and Princess Jasmine in "Alladin". She's the most well known Philippina in and outside of the Philippines

"Miss Saigon" and "Blood Brothers" were the first musicals I watched in the West End. I was about 12 years old then. I was sold! Musical theatre gives me goosebumps in a good way!

After years and years of listening to the soundtrack of Miss Saigon, it was amazing to finally hear her live. Every single note was sung to perfection and with so much feeling...She'll be back in Hong Kong with "Cinderella" so if you didn't get to see her concert, here's another chance! She's an inspiration to especially the Asian women.
