Bay Area Cabaret presents Lea Salonga. Lea is a Tony Award winner and international singing star, received worldwide acclaim for her starring role as Kim in the original London production of the musical Miss Saigon, Lea won the Olivier Award for Best Actress in A Musical while still a teen. Opening on Broadway two years later, she took her success even further, sweeping the season by winning a Tony Award as well as Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Theater World awards. This actress has since become a musical-theatre legend and icon, having starred in productions of Les Miserables, Cats, Flower Drum Song, Cinderella and Into The Woods. As an actress and singer, she has starred in numerous films and TV shows as well as performing in concert around the world. In August 2011, Lea was honored the Disney Legend award, having created the singing voices for Princess Jasmine in Disney's Alladin and Fa Mulan in Mulan and Mulan ll. She also just finished a critically-acclaimed run at New York's Café Carlyle where the New York Times said "Ms. Salonga's bright, metallically edged voice is a shiny all-purpose instrument that confidently establishes its dominion over whatever musical setting surrounds it."
Haha...when one of the audience sneezed at 2:56 ( in the middle of an intimate performance) Lea paused and said "bless you".... then everyone laughed. Epic sneeze!
