    Lea and Simon Bowman still have the chemistry and the love and the friendship between them. They are truly icons if London and Broadway!

    I have so much respect for Simon Bowman for his professionalism towards Lea Salonga…She was barely 18 when they started in Miss Saigon together. He was 28. And she said it herself that he was just very patient and helpful with her. Many years later and that story never changed!

      Probably. She said, there’s a part in her heart that belongs to him until now.
      They look good together. Thing was, Leah was very young then, only 17.

      My sister too got cassette tapes and over and over we listen to it… but I’m sure it’s gone now (washed away by multiple floods in the province) if the lives my sister and I have now is as of way back then, we could have gone to London or Broadway to watch it…

    It's 2021 and I'm 34 yrs old. Crying and smiling at the same time while watching this video. Closing your eyes and listening to them singing brings you back to the time when they were onstage. So nostalgic and endearing.. Can we have this again?

    @captcooper5159 ปีที่แล้ว +30

    It is shattering to see how our bodies age, yet encouraging that our voice remains the same and that the singing even improves over time. Lea and Simon: saw you on Broadway in 1998 and you remain my favorite musical couple!

    Literally cried in minute 3:28 😭💖 I may not be the biggest Lea fan but I have been watching old videos of her back in the Original Miss Saigon, from auditions to the present, and seeing her reunited with Mr. Bowman at their prime age singing the songs that connected their lives together at the age of 18 and 28 is truly a heart-melting sight 😭 the stage chemistry of these two is undeniable and their voices combined is just breathtaking ♥️ Will forever love these two icons!

    One of my favourite things about watching Lea perform is that sometimes you can see that she knows she's in a magical moment. This whole performance is like that, but especially around 5:55, where he's really going for the excitement and joy and she's just like YESSSS. I love it so much.

    Bakit ako naiyak? Aaah kasi walang nagbago, yung boses and chemistry nandyan pa rin. Grabe nakakakilig at tindig balahibo. Ang charming n9 Mr. Bowman. Grabe yung professionalism na sa isa't isa. Kung ako sguro nahuhulog n ako kay Mr. Bowman dahil sa boses pa lang grabe na, tapos ang gwapo pa.
