    Story time no one asked for:
    I'm a 42 year old singer who used to do musical theater from age 13 to 18. Lea Salonga TO THIS DAY has the most pristine, perfect, emotion evoking voice of all time. Every single time I hear her, especially looking back on this audition, I cry in a pile of goosebumps. My first audition ever was for The Wiz. I had no experience whatsoever other than belting out Miss Saigon songs in my room besides my regular Whitney and Mariah jams. In secret. My middle school friends and I all were die hard Depeche Mode and Morrissey fans. I didn't want to be made fun of for singing show tunes in my room. Anyway, my Mom's best friend begged me to audition for The Wiz, which he found in the newspaper, and bribed me with 20 bucks to just go audition. I had no fucking clue what I was doing. This audition was held in this huge warehouse where everyone was wearing jazz shoes and very professional. I rolled up in all black with my Converse high tops and hair that was giving 90's Cranberries. I was given a cassette to borrow that had an instrumental version of "I'd Give My Life For You" so I gave the assistant the tape and went off. I could feel the vibrations of my voice echoing throughout the warehouse and when I was done, everyone stood up and people were crying. I was blown away. I got a "call back" for thr role of Dorothy and was thinking there's no way I would go from belting in my bedroom to carrying a whole entire musical on my own with ZERO experience. I ended up getting that very role and it was hell on earth learning a million lines, acting, following choreography, and learning so many songs. My director used to scream at me until I cried. Longer story longer, I sold out every show and got standing ovations during the last note I held out in the finale song. I was in the newspaper, people knew who I was in my city, and I got asked to sing for the mayor and sang the National Anthem at a few sporting things. 13 and 14 were some crazy years for me and nothing will ever compare to the feeling of a standing ovation. Every single person deserves one at least once in their life. End of story. Thank you for reading if you did! 💕

    🔪🚿 I was amused at Lucas' reaction right after Lea began singing the first line. She was around 17 in this video and had already started in pre-med when she auditioned for Miss Saigon. But before that, she was a child prodigy who started in musical theater and later branched out to pop singing, acting and commercial modeling. She is known to have a perfect pitch on top of her already prodigious vocal chops. Today she would be around 51 or 52, and widely recognized in the Philippines and throughout the world as an icon in musical theater. It's amazing to look back at this and realize that being cast as the female lead in Miss Saigon was both a life-changing and career-defining event for her. Enjoyed the banter in this reaction again!

      Just because someone said so and so doesn't make it true, for you or anyone to echo and post, almost reporting that it is TRUE. Even if it came from Regine or any famous celebrity.
      It is an obvious misguided claim because several people (I think including you) don't know what Perfect Pitch means.
      Lea has denied it. Research that for yourself.
      Also, if Lea had in fact perfect pitch, it would surely be a known thing and made trivial esp in Ph tv, given its uniqueness and entertainment value.

She's a living legend in the Philippines entertainment industry. Her voice has such crystal-clear musicality when she sings, which many have so admired.

    This is an excerpt from the documentary film called The Heat is On: The Making of Miss Saigon which came out around 1989/1990. Lea Salonga was 17 in 1988 when she auditioned for the lead role. In the movie Boublil and Schönberg went to several major cities looking for Kim (aka Miss Saigon) and though they found many talented young women, they still haven’t found THE ONE. They noticed though that many of the “almost Kims” were of Filipino heritage so they decided to come to Manila even if it wasn’t on the list of audition venues. Not only did they find their Kim in Lea Salonga, they also found her alternate in Monique Wilson as well as 20+ other actors to join the original West End cast. This clip is the call back for Lea to test how she would sound singing songs from the musical. For her original audition she sang On My Own (also by Boublil and Schönberg) and was asked to sing another song. Though she had not prepared a second song she sang The Greatest Love of All, for which Schönberg supposedly asked her to “not sing it like her” meaning Whitney Houston. Obviously Lea did an excellent job because she eventually was casted as Kim (for which she won the Laurence Olivier and Tony as well as others like Theater World, Drama Desk, etc). She also became a Disney Princess twice (!!!) by being the singing voice of Princess Jasmine and Mulan.

    Leah was only 17 during this Ms Saigon audition. And when she was casted as Kim one of their problems was the kissing scene bec of her age, so they got proper approval from her parents. She turned 18 during the run of Ms Saigon. Leah is now 52years old. She really is one of those singers whose voice barely changed throughout the years and she is one of our rare international artists that had formal trainings in music during her early years.

(I believe she goes in right before the show opens). Still, I'm excited because it means Lea will promotion for that new musical. ALSO - There was a tribute concert to the late Stephen Sondheim in London that will now have a 16-week limited engagement: STEPHEN SONDHEIM'S OLD FRIENDS. Bernadette Peters was in the concert and this will be her West End debut. And Lea will be part of the limited engagement - her first time in a West End show in almost 30 years! I can't wait for Lea be doing promotion for this show (it begins in September) and to see clips of Lea singing Sondheim!!!

      Lea turned 52 in February 2023. (She was born on Feb 22, 1971.) That first professional job in 1978 was when Lea was only 7 years old playing one of the children in THE KING AND I. Edited to add: Lea recorded "A Whole New World" for the Disney film Aladdin just before her 21st birthday (early 1992) and the film came out near the end of 1992. Lea has been aging BEAUTIFULLY (it's tough to tell her age from pics or videos), but her voice is practically unchanged.

    You guys made me realize first love never dies…😭 lol
    By the way I am 43 this year, and i am sure that she was older than me because i was already watching her in TV shows back then when i was still in the philiippines, i think shes in her early 50s, but she can still sing A WHOLE NEW WOLD like it just came out yesterday…

    Lea and her brother Gerard (now a world renowned composer) were raised in music... she did musical theater since she was a kid. And yes, sight-reading was part of the training back in the 1980s. Miss Saigon, I believe, premiered in 1989 in London. She must have been 16 or 17 during this audition, as she was 18 when they were promoting it. Lea is now in her early almost mid 50s.
