Please react to Lea’s My Lord and Master from the King and I with Julie Andrews/Ben Kingsley. She was young teen then but what a beautiful voice and the song composition. I’m crazy with Broadways.
I was so lucky to watch her and see this live decades ago, it was life-changing. As the original Kim , she set the highest standard for everyone who played the character afterwards. I would encourage anyone to go see it. This still easily reduces me to tears. Thank you for featuring her in your channel. Echoing someone else's suggestion, her 'Movie in my Mind" from the same musical is another epic one for you to see.
@@GOTGames I was so fortunate to see Lea Salonga in Miss Saigon in New York in the early 90's and her performance was phenomenal. I love Miss Saigon so much that I saw it in LA in the late 90s for the second time but I was hesitant to go when I found out that Lea was replaced by someone who was unknown to me but my family wanted to Miss Saigon even without Lea, so I went with the mindset that it was not going to be as good as with Lea as the lead star...but I was wrong. Rachael Ann Go was just as talented as Lea and to prove that, checkout their rendition duet, side by side, that even Lea was amazed of Rachael's vocal power. Movie In My Mind th-cam.com/video/bWys8rQ8EXI/w-d-xo.html
Sure watched this long time ago...1991. Lea is a Philippine treasure. First Asian (Filipina) to win the Tony Award for Miss Saigon in 1991. Love you Lea and mom Ligaya🥰🥰🥰
I saw her in Miss Saigon at the Theater Royal, amazing show. Then I again in NYC, as well as Mis Les. Some of the best live experiences, and I have been to many. I had no idea who she was when I first went, and was simply stunned.
I watched Lea perform Miss Saigon on Broadway. My parents took our whole family from San Francisco to New York to watch. It was my first time on an airplane. First time my brother & I ever gone anywhere outside California. But my parents was hellbent to celebrate & support Lea Salonga in such a groundbreaking role. Also, my dad was in Vietnam during the war. So, his connection to the musical ran deep. I think we were the only Filipinos in the audience that night. But I guarantee you, we were the loudest voices after the curtains fell. My mom was so proud of Lea. My dad had tears in his eyes and he nearly never showed emotions. An experience I haven’t and will never forget.
I had the privilege of watching Miss Saigon in Manila year 2000 with Lea Salonga playing Kim (thank God it was not the alternate plying), I'm already 47. You should buy Miss Saigon original 1889 soundtrack.
I watched Lea’s Ms Saigon Broadway in NY flying from Chicago just for Lea. So touching story. Lots were crying silently including me. She’s the best. First gala presented in London where the late Princess Diana attended.
That gave her the TONY AWARD She’s the first Asian to have received a Tony. Am glad you appreciate her performance Try checking out “movie on my mind” with Rachel Ann Go, also a Filipina singer❤️
@@teresafangon6414 what Tony award did Jose Mari Chan receive? 🤔 I know it was Lea who was the first Asian to win Tony and Laurence Olivier best actress
Incredible heroine from Philippines,more power since 7 years old till today, tomorrow forever incredible, terrible heroine from Asia to whole Shalom world 🌎,mabuhay music 🎵 🎶 world Our Father*talent AMEN*
She won a Tony in the US and a Juno in the UK for this performance in Miss Saigon. I believe that she was the first Asian person to ever receive those awards and this was the beginning of her career. She is an incredible performer.
I saw miss saigon on broadway around 96 or 97. I cant remember the year, but it was absolutely fantastic. Being half vietnamese, the story really hits home
Great reaction. I had the pleasure of seeing Lea Salonga live on Broadway in New York City in 1991when she made her Broadway debut in Miss Saigon. It was amazing her performance brought me to tears.
Like others have said i saw her perform in this show in London and have and listen to that original soundtrack often. She destroyed me!!! I left the show as most people did utterly broken and silent!!! Such was the power of her performance both vocally and with her acting ability. She is really an amazing artist who hasn't received the attention she so rightly deserves! The tears you have in this reaction were the tears she made me shed during this show and every time i hear the album. As good as this song was the most powerful performance by her in this show is during the song "This is the Hour" 😭😭😭 There ... are ... No... Words!!! Check it out but have something to wipe your eyes and nose with. It's devastating. She is perfection! There is another song "Bui Doi" in this shiw that is specifically about the children left behind in Saigon. It is a gut punch of a song that will rip you to shreds. It's an important song and you must react to it. It's beautiful and heartbreaking. For another amazing vocalist you might know nothing about i hope you'll check out the beautiful and talented Bernadette Peters. Especially her singing "Being Alive" , "No One is Alone", and "Faithless Love." She is a Broadway legend and has been in movies and Television though most of her work is from the stage. She is phenomenal too!
Just watched your reaction and it's 2024. I was quite emotional as I might be one of the audiences during that time in Manila and this chance of watching her was unforgettable experience. This gave birth for my love for broadway shows. Thanks man for your reaction. Jo fr the South of France
I was attending theatre school in Loughton, England & got to see this live in the West End..it's intense, gritty, & heartbreakingly beautiful! I cried my eyes out!
If you thought that was a phenomenal performance, you MUST also check out the song Sun and Moon from the same play. It's my favorite songs from Miss Saigon--such a beautiful, tender love song.
This was the role that won her the Tony Award for Best Lead Actress in a Musical in 1991 on Broadway, the first Asian American woman to do so. As a fellow Filipino, it was a very proud moment. I’ve seen her perform many times, most recently here in Washington, D.C., and her voice remains crisp and powerful. She sounds as good in person as on a recording.
Regardless of nationality or race Lea is the bomb. I saw her in an interview and the commentator noted she was the first woman of color to win both the Olivier and Tony. I had to think…..”what color?” Is she talking about. To see her perform she transcends color or race, she can play any pert regardless.
This is what I’m talking about. This song is one of the firsts I have ever fallen in love with! 💜 What a legend. And to think she was a teen when she played the role. Just wow.
I was fortunate enough to see her in January 2001. Shortly before the show closed on Broadway. It was amazing!!! 😍 I even got her to autograph my show poster at the backstage door. It's framed and has been hanging on my wall for the last 21 years! 👍😊
The most amazing singer of the stage in the past 30 years. The diction, the range and the emotion she puts into her performances is incredible. I cry every time i watch her. Her voice has only gotten better with age.
She was 18 yrs old at the time she sang this song… you would be amazed how she put the right emotion when she has no experience of such situation at all. Bravo she is truly a Star
Yes I did see this Play...Just near the end of the run of Miss Saigon, Lea came back to star in the play. She was and is such a great singer and actress AND I have seen quite a few plays and Miss Saigon is my all time favorite.
How you did not break into tears at 05:07 beats me 🙂! Thanks for that video! I have known Miss Saigon since the late 90s and I saw her and Simon Bowman on Broadway! I was totally moved to tears. I have the DVD and I cannot even put it into the player without breaking into tears. One of the best Musicals that deals with why we should not go to war with each other!
I’ve been fortunate enough to see Miss Saigon three times. Every single time I’ve watched it, I cry. Such a power musical. She will always be Kim to me.
Yes, Miss Saigon is a tearjerker. A great show to see live if you ever get the chance. I saw Lea Salonga live when she debuted on Broadway and again when she came back to Miss Saigon 10 years later. She is the real deal! If you want to review other songs from Miss Saigon, try ‘Please’ and ‘I Still Believe’ (find the versions with Lea, it is worth it).
This is my favorite Musical of all times. If you ever get to see the full production, you should. Bring tissues. Even if you just watch the whole thing online. Do this production, of course, if you see it online. It's just an amazing show with SO many good songs/performances
She puts all the emotions into each performance. I heard this any times and hits me hard each and everytime. Hits really hard when you know how the play goes. I have seen it live in Boston but not with Lea. It is an amazing production. If they tour again I would suggest it to anyone.
My colleagues and I were obsessed with Miss Saigon when it came out. We practically know the lyrics to all the songs. And yes, we watched it with the original cast when they came to the Philippines decades ago. Lea and the rest of the cast and crew were fantastic. I also had a chance to watch two more musicals with Lea and she's really a league of her own. She's nice too. Got to see her in a restaurant with her child and since our table was beside each other, i was able to get her sign my Cinderella ticket.
She is an icon of the Philippines! Pure talent. The Philippines witnessed her grow from Annie in Repertory Philippines to become the Lea Salonga today. She’s one of the first persons of color to break the glass ceiling in theater so we couldn’t be more proud of her. I’ve had the best fortune to watch her several times as Kim in Ms. Saigon. Each performance always perfect because that’s Lea. Never settling for anything less. And I’ve cried my heart out in every one of those performances. Overwhelmingly powerful every time! Amazing amazing Lea Salonga!! You should also see Too Much for One Heart. She is damn so consistent with quality!!!
I saw her in this role and Miss Saigon is by far my favorite of all of the Big Time musicals!!! You need to watch the entire musical but you must watch the version with Lea in the lead role! REAL MEN CRY!! It’s actually a beautiful part of your reactions💙👍
Miss Saigon is one of my FAVORITE musicals of all time... So beautiful and tragic. SO EMOTIONAL! Bui Doi (not Lea) is EVERYTHING and the duet "I Still Believe" (WITH Lea) is also INCREDIBLE.
i've seen Miss Saigon live many times, and it's an absolute heart breaker every time. The story is timeless, and tells the tragic story of a girl whose life is torn apart by war. You HAVE to see the duet with Lea and Rachelle Ann Go at the 25th Anniversary Concert of Miss Saigon singing Movie in My Mind. You will be absolutely BLOWN AWAY.
oooh, you should def check out "movie in my mind" from the same musical. It literally makes me cry every time I'm listening to it. And the performance is just on another level
that last line she sang...the face, the voice, the emotion they bring forth...it's like seeing and hearing the heart of any parent who truly, fully loves their children and what they'd do in the worst situations one might face.
Thank you for your heartwarming reaction. You're so amazing, too. You're real in giving a reaction which is really coming from your heart. You are a true music champion, too.
@@GOTGames Since you literally feel her love for her boy in this song, watch You Will Not Touch Him/Thuy's Death privately. It's powerful and I personally sob.
I didn't even notice the tears bursting from my eyes!!! I was fully enthralled... Wow!!! She's captivating.🙌 She won The Lawrence Olivier and Tony for this performance as Kim in, "Miss Saigon."
Accidentally clicked on your channel. And because of the music, it swayed me to stay and watched Lea Salonga's performance on Ms. Saigon. At the same time I was watching your reaction. Oh man, did I cry, oh no, I shed tears both eyes. Little did I know that you are a father of two then I understand how Lea's performance hit. I only have one son but it hit me the same or more than it hit you. To end, you earned another subby from the land down under, Australia. Now, I will be watching your contents especially reactions. Lea was a gold mine. I don't mind watching more reactions from this incredible singer actress performer happened to be a Tony Award Winning Actress.
That was gorgeous. And yes, as a mother of 3, very difficult to get through. But hearing you talk about your boys, that's what broke me. My kids are 21, 19, and 15 now, and I would still give everything for them. It's been a rough road, but worth every second.
I read your facial expression and languages... so real. You've got my respect. Btw, I'm studying body-facial expressions and language of video reaction. Yours is one of a few genuine I see. Cheers to that!
That's the reason why she won the Tony Awards because of her remarkable portrayal of Kim in Miss Saigon. And also the Olivier Awards she bag the Best Performance also in the same musical Miss Saigon. Gonna check them out as well. Thanks for your great reaction, always having fun watching your videos. 😊👍❤🇵🇭
Lea is something else, another level, absolute queen. Thanks for your reaction Miss Saigon is a masterpiece by far my absolute fav ever (: if you really really want to cry, watch Miss Saigon full (spoiler: she does give her life for the little boy) or react to her rendition of Via Dolorosa it will blow your socks off
This show is so heartbreaking… it’s a modern Broadway retelling of the opera Madam Butterfly set during the Vietnam War. And yes, in the end, she DOES give her life for her child.
Please make a reaction video of Ms. Lea Salonga and Il Divo's concert tour. Their performances WILL BRING TO HEAVEN!! It's the most PERFECT COLLABORATION EVERRR. I highly recommend you watch "The Music of the Night" first.
I hope you get a chance to see her audition tapes for Miss Saigon! You also have to remember the context of the times. At that time, she became the first Asian performer to play the lead in a major musical. She is literally an artistic treasure for the whole world!❤
If you are not subscribed to Broadway HD there are SO many musicals including Miss Saigon that have been filmed for theatrical release. Thank you for this reaction. Lea is SO amazing. Have been fortunate to see her live twice.
Lea is just perfect and amazing performer. She is a living legend. Sometimes, it takes me to watch Lea's cover in order to feel the song even more. I love her. I recommend you watch these: Still hurting (from The Last Five Years) rehearsals: th-cam.com/video/xSYtZRMFozc/w-d-xo.html Disney Medley (Hercules, Tarzan, and Mulan) : th-cam.com/video/7Qep_FUksKk/w-d-xo.html You will not touch him/Thuy's Death: th-cam.com/video/jeKoCeDIt84/w-d-xo.html The Movie In My Mind w/ Rachelle Ann Go: th-cam.com/video/bWys8rQ8EXI/w-d-xo.html A little fall of rain w/ Michael Ball (Les Miserables): th-cam.com/video/IyPy2Iqq-NM/w-d-xo.html
You just have to review all her songs in this musical. Movie in my mind, I still believe, Sun and Moon, last night of the world☺️ she’s very emotional and intense! Just phenomenal!

I saw her in London's West End in the original run of Miss Saigon there. Utterly captivating, and I've loved her voice and acting ever since.
I had the privilege of watching Miss Saigon in Manila year 2000 with Lea Salonga playing Kim (thank God it was not the alternate plying), I'm already 47. You should buy Miss Saigon original 1889 soundtrack.
Scientist here. I wish we could take credit for creating that amazing voice…Alas, it is *just* an insane level of natural talent 😉💕
I watched Lea’s Ms Saigon Broadway in NY flying from Chicago just for Lea. So touching story. Lots were crying silently including me. She’s the best. First gala presented in London where the late Princess Diana attended.
Yes, I did cry in most of the scenes
That gave her the TONY AWARD

Am glad you appreciate her performance

She won a Tony in the US and a Juno in the UK for this performance in Miss Saigon. I believe that she was the first Asian person to ever receive those awards and this was the beginning of her career. She is an incredible performer.
I was lucky enough to see Lea Solonga perform this on her last night in the role of Kim in the Miss Saigon revival in NYC
I am Lucky to see Lea in Broadway the first month of her show. Meet her in the backstage too. ❤

Also watch her original recording with Brad Kane for Aladdin singing A Whole New World followed by their reunion 23 years later!
She was so young when she played this role. Amazing job. Heartbreaking through the end of the musical.

That's absolutely incredible!! ❤️❤️
Thats so cool

Try "Sun and Moon" and the "Last Night of the World" by Lea Salonga with Will Chase, and with Simon Bowman in Miss Saigon
Just wow!
Miss Saigon is one of my FAVORITE musicals of all time... So beautiful and tragic. SO EMOTIONAL! Bui Doi (not Lea) is EVERYTHING and the duet "I Still Believe" (WITH Lea) is also INCREDIBLE.
i've seen Miss Saigon live many times, and it's an absolute heart breaker every time. The story is timeless, and tells the tragic story of a girl whose life is torn apart by war.

Oh would love to hear it ❤️
I saw Miss Saigon on Broadway many years ago. Heart wrenching story. Left the theatre totally depressed! Love Lea Salonga.
It’s hard enough to watch these reactions without sobbing. And then you start! Watching your face shattered me.
😂 I apologise! This was a hard one to get through, had to have a couple of tears ❤️
that last line she sang...the face, the voice, the emotion they bring forth...it's like seeing and hearing the heart of any parent who truly, fully loves their children and what they'd do in the worst situations one might face.
You should the whole play. You can search it in TH-cam. I swear you're gonna love it!!!
Thank you for your heartwarming reaction. You're so amazing, too. You're real in giving a reaction which is really coming from your heart. You are a true music champion, too.
I admire you a lot you are a great person as I see

Oh man, did I cry, oh no, I shed tears both eyes. Little did I know that you are a father of two then I understand how Lea's performance hit. I only have one son but it hit me the same or more than it hit you. To end, you earned another subby from the land down under, Australia. Now, I will be watching your contents especially reactions. Lea was a gold mine. I don't mind watching more reactions from this incredible singer actress performer happened to be a Tony Award Winning Actress.
That was gorgeous. And yes, as a mother of 3, very difficult to get through. But hearing you talk about your boys, that's what broke me. My kids are 21, 19, and 15 now, and I would still give everything for them. It's been a rough road, but worth every second.
Love your reaction! She is perfect! Thank you for sharing.
I only heard it this time from Leah Salonga. So wonderful.
Speechless😂😂😂
Seen this in London years ago with Lea solonga and it blew my mind !! Just perfect !
I have watch your videos (this video) many times, I have to admit, your reaction, mate, is so genuine.
mate, on 2.40 you were breaking you paused the video to suppressed it (andany others). Let it go...that was so genuine.
I read your facial expression and languages... so real. You've got my respect. Btw, I'm studying body-facial expressions and language of video reaction. Yours is one of a few genuine I see. Cheers to that!
i´m crying! Because of you! :)
That's the reason why she won the Tony Awards because of her remarkable portrayal of Kim in Miss Saigon. And also the Olivier Awards she bag the Best Performance also in the same musical Miss Saigon. Gonna check them out as well. Thanks for your great reaction, always having fun watching your videos. 😊👍❤🇵🇭
Lea is something else, another level, absolute queen. Thanks for your reaction Miss Saigon is a masterpiece by far my absolute fav ever (: if you really really want to cry, watch Miss Saigon full (spoiler: she does give her life for the little boy) or react to her rendition of Via Dolorosa it will blow your socks off
She really is incredible ❤️
This show is so heartbreaking… it’s a modern Broadway retelling of the opera Madam Butterfly set during the Vietnam War. And yes, in the end, she DOES give her life for her child.
Please make a reaction video of Ms. Lea Salonga and Il Divo's concert tour. Their performances WILL BRING TO HEAVEN!! It's the most PERFECT COLLABORATION EVERRR. I highly recommend you watch "The Music of the Night" first.
I hope you get a chance to see her audition tapes for Miss Saigon! You also have to remember the context of the times. At that time, she became the first Asian performer to play the lead in a major musical. She is literally an artistic treasure for the whole world!❤
i also did cry when i had the chance to watch her in Manila.. still having goosebumps everytime i listen to her songs! beyond compare
If you are not subscribed to Broadway HD there are SO many musicals including Miss Saigon that have been filmed for theatrical release. Thank you for this reaction. Lea is SO amazing. Have been fortunate to see her live twice.
I was lucky to see this in person. I shed a bucketful of tears.

You need to listen to Last Night Of The World with Lea and Simon Bowman!! Fantastic ❗
Lea is just perfect and amazing performer. She is a living legend. Sometimes, it takes me to watch Lea's cover in order to feel the song even more. I love her. I recommend you watch these:
