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: th-cam.com/video/UiBX-Fq8GCc/w-d-xo.html
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.
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.
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
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
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!
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!❤️🇵🇭
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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
Salute her achievements!
She may be one of the greatest singers ever to live
You should react to her "The movie in my mind" performance with another Filipino Rachelle Ann Go.
I promise you its Incredibly incredible!!!!

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! 🥰

Just because of being Asian.

Thanks for sharing
And she suppose to do a concert with Alfie Boe but will be rescheduled i hope because of the pandemic
She can still sing this song with so much power. I think her technique even got better with age.
Also should check out Lea and Rachel Ann Go singing “Movie in my Mind.” It’s so good.
*Movie in my Mind po siguro. 😅

Lea Salonga is the real Disney Princess. She is the original Jasmine princess and in Mulan

Now watch her rendition of HAMILTON'S BURN in UK just a year ago so you can see her recent ones. Choose the one from her UK concert.
❤️💙💜💖💗
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.
You should check Lea Salonga and Michael Ball's 'A Little fall of Rain' from the same 10th anniversary concert.....
Danielle youre so pretty ❤
... Practically a part of "childhood"
you said it right..
She is the original singer of so many Disney theme song..
Like; Mulan and Alladin etc.

I used to watch this anniversary on PBS everytime it came on. Lol
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.
She's a #nationaltreasure 🇵🇭
Watch Her Audition for the Miss Saigon role..
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.
She sounds so much like Samantha Barks from the 25th Anniversary Special of Les Mis. back in 2010
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.

I think it got uploaded 11ish years ago but that video happened in the late 90s I think
It was uploaded 11 years ago. But this event happened in 1995 during the 10th anniversary of Les Miserables.
@Danielle, you should react to Lea as Fantine during the Les Misables 25th Anniversary Concert!!!
Good reaction. Pls check out her Via Dolorosa.
This was the 10th anniversary concert which was actually 26?years ago.
Please check out her performance of Via Dolorosa at the West Point Academy ten years ago with the West Point Glee Club.
