Singer, actress, Broadway royalty, and two-time Disney Princess Lea was performing at Cardiff’s Wales Millennium Centre in the opening show of her debut solo UK tour.
And Simon Bowman surprised the sell-out audience by walking up on stage and duetting with Lea to perform A Whole New World from Aladdin.
Speaking after the performance Lea said: “It was an absolute pleasure to welcome Simon on stage to perform with me this evening.
“It was a very special moment for me at the start of my debut UK solo tour and I think the audience enjoyed it too!”
Philippines-born Lea Salonga was just 17 when she was discovered by the producers of Miss Saigon, and cast in the lead role of Kim. She originated the role in London and New York, and won the Olivier and Tony Awards for best actress in a musical for her work in the show.
She then went on to play Eponine and Fantine in Les Misérables on Broadway and in the musical’s 10th and 25th anniversary concerts in London.
Younger audiences will recognise her pitch perfect tones as the singing voices of Princess Jasmine in Aladdin and Fa Mulan in Mulan and Mulan II - earning her the official title of Disney Legend.
Her most recent West End appearance was in 2014 as part of the 25th anniversary celebrations for Miss Saigon at the Prince Edward Theatre.
Away from the stage, Lea is a judge on the Philippines’ version of The Voice and has sold a staggering 19 million albums worldwide - making her one of the best-selling Filipina artists of all time. Her 2017 album Blurred Lines was followed by a sell-out run at New York’s renowned Feinstein’s / 54Below.
Having previously performed for the likes of The Queen, Diana, Princess of Wales, and former US presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, Lea boasts numerous accolades including an Olivier, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and Theatre World Awards among others.

Oh it's Lea's first kiss ever @18 when Lea & Simon got the lead role in Miss Saigon. I'm sure Lea trusted Simon from the time he said to her, "I'm not gonna take advantage of you," from then on, they truly have a great partnership professionally and as friends.
The kiss at the end was heartwarming. Love Simon Bowman, thank you for being such a gentleman to Ms Lea Salonga during the Miss Saigon

Simon Bowman is a gentleman. He talked to Lea's Mom before Lea's ever first kissing scene in Miss Saigon. And what a fantastic voice. He and Lea go well together
How come they are not a couple. Is he gay
Yes indeed
@@20891 why is that the first reason that comes to your mind when you think about why they’re not together?
@@micawoodburn9250 😂
The Original Kim and Chris of Miss Saigon ❤
That kiss at the end simply shows that they have incredible relationship and professionalism and they're really close and genuine with each other.
Awesome duet! I'm so proud for Lea, being myself a Filipino,/American.
I like how their convo is so causal. No Praising or such a dramatic word. Just like a two friends that see each other in the street. 😂
😂 ikr! They’re like a typical friends seeing each other then gossiping other friends 😂
Philippines is blessed to have Lea Salonga. Our Princess... Timeless Voice. Aladdin was redone... and soon Mulan... Lea's magical voice will always be the Original Jasmine and Mulan.
yea but Mulan won't be a real Disney movie. its basically a Chinese action flick. no singing, no Mushu, no comedy.
@@djjoelb48 Yes I know. But during the duration of the movie. There will always be comparison with the animated and people will always bring up the Reflection song.
You are right
i agree. until now i get goosebumps when i hear Miss Leah sing.
Thanks a million a ma’am. Much love...
He was Lea's first kiss on stage and on real life. Thus, the friendship.
Oh yeah, I forgot it. Thanks for sharing.
Correct!
How did you know? In real life?
What a first kiss!
@@robroy9989 She have'nt kissed anyone yet before Saigon thus he was her first kiss..
I can't blame him if he couldn't move on. Lea is still beautiful even at her late 40's.
In her late 40s
His career really should be promoted. No one sings like that.
Lea's voice is truly crystal clear, such a perfect duet!
Simon’s voice is just so good to the ears plus Lea’s. They sound so perfect together
Who's watching this 2021? They are both amazing.. . Love it!
❤I am Watching. 09/21/2024❤.
I WAS SMILING THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE VIDEOOO 😭 THIS IS TOO HEARTWARMING AND ADORABLE
Mee too......LOL
So do i 😍😍😍😍
Same here ..also have goosebumps...too bad only watched this 2021...but still memory to cherished for both of them..
Lea Salonga is always be one of my favorite of all time. No doubt about her golden voice. A lady with class! Bravo to you both Lea & Simon!
They have a great chemistry .brilliant singers..I love them both.
"Simon's voice is really fantastic. The two singing together is so lovely. ❤
The final kiss and embrace between the two is so heart-fluttering. 😍😍
Simon Bowman is a legend as Chris in Miss Saigon.
That voice by Lea Salonga is timeless...if you close your eyes and just listen, that is the angelic voice of a princess...a disney princess :)
I'm so glad I was there to watch it live. It was amazing!
Did they really kiss cos the camera went a lil far.
I meant, was that on the lips?
lovinglife on the cheeks 😀
@@labellavita12 on the lips. in Uk that is nothing. they worked together for a long time and they're friends until now.
@@VeNuS2910 thank you for answering. Btw is does Simon has a family of his own now?
Perfect couple. Too bad they didn't end up getting tied. I loved this love team.
They will always have that relationship on stage. What a great pair. What a pair of voice. Aaaaah. I can listen to them non stop.
This...was beautiful. 😢 Let's pretend the fall of Saigon and everything else afterward did not happen and this is Kim and Chris singing as they fly into America on a plane (or helicopter 😅). 🙌❤ Heart healed.
Amazing Lea!
Wow
Saw him as Jean Valjean a few years back in the West End. A lovely guy. That bond from when he originated the role of Chris is warm and very genuine.
So much for not knowing the song, he nailed it 😍
Oh wow!!!!!😃 Simon Bowman what a voice!!!!!
Had the pleasure of being there in Cardiff. Absolutely fantastic to see Lea and Simon on stage 🤩
I'm jealous. I just discovered the musical. Beautiful music, hoping to read about Miss Saigon.
@@jensue109 He wasn't listed as a special guest, so everyone was stunned. She just called him from the audience and we all went crazy. She is amazing live.
I truly love and am so magically taken how Sir Simon Bowman sounds so legendary blending so well with Miss Lea...
Lea's voice ages like fine wine 🥺❤️
Leah's cystal voice...it never fades...even better in time... 💞💞💞
'Lea' po sya without an 'h', hindi 'Leah.'
Yeah right truly blessed
I’ve seen all iterations of Miss Saigon in the past three decades and to this day, nobody has done Kim close to Lea Salonga’s level and quality of performance.
And THIS is what you call Crystal Clear! 😍
I AGREE Lea is the BEST of ALL kim in Miss Saigon.

Her first kiss.😍❤️
I ship them forever and ever and ever! The OG cast of the Miss Saigon and the reason that made me love broadway shows!
Oh MyGod, I can still. IMAGINE Jasmine riding the Magic Carpet while singing this, Leas Voice hasnt changed that much
Oh my, I'm this still as magical as decades ago. Both voices still sound so fresh and clear. Can't believe they did not end up being together. Wow!!
When Miss Saigon meets Aladdin 💕
Such a powerful OTP💖
I love you both Lea and Simon. You are both a legend ♥️🙂

The best duet to sing A Whole New World....two great voices...
Simon has the most perfect singing voice. I love his duet w/ Lea on Sun & Moon & his solo song Why God Why.
Lea Salonga IS excellence personified. Still top notch all these years!
Wow! Brought a tear to my jaded eye seeing these two back together. They were so amazing in 'Miss Saigon' their voices are still amazing. Love Lea...

Leah's voice never gets old! Wow!

I love Lea! She's so comfortable on stage and so confident!
I really love the tandem of ms lea salonga and mr simon bowman imagine for 30 yrs they are still close friends and god bless you
Gosh this is something. I remember seeing them so many years ago at the Theater Royal, had no idea what I was going to experience. Been a fan of Lea ever since.
I have never known these brilliant singers...Nor these musicals. Simon's voice is like black velvet. Both are wonderful! 5.2020.
My favorite performer. Not only a great broadway singer but very smart, beauty and brain
It's always a pleasure to watch Lea Salonga . She has so much brought great pride and joy to our country.
When you meet your long lost friends and it feels like it just only yesterday.. so beautiful to see...
what a voice Simon and Lea had. I love their duet
Lea Salonga - still the same beautiful voice. Love to see Simon Bowman on stage with her again.
Wow! It's like he's not reading the words on the teleprompter. And I didn't think they would sound good singing Disney! Amazing!
There's no teleprompter, lea said so before
Their voices are KING AND QUEEN!
Leah's voice always brings me to enchanting, magical, and fairy world.
They are just so natural!! Love them .
Listening to the song bring back time when I was young, imaginating I was a princess as well. This is my ultimate favorite song. Such a fantastic performance!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Ms LEA SALONGA is timeless😊 same voice , same charm Pride of Filipino people💖💋
I was there and I was in tears the whole song!!! 😭😭 fangirling so hard ❤️❤️
Your so lucky to be there😥I wish I could see Lea salonga in real life 😘
jewell's amazing life
lea remains very talented and her voice is still great but sorry I still prefer a good attitude! During signing of her CD after her show, her face shows that she’s rushing everyone in the cue, she’s tapping the table just like saying faster, faster to her fans, not giving them a chance to have a photo with her. And when my turn to have my Cd sign.... lea told me “no picture pls” with her voice sounds like so bossy. She didn’t even shake her hands to anyone there to show that she’s happy to see us. I was so disappointed because i am a big fan of her since annie days and that’s entertainment days.... MISS LEA SALONGA, i am speaking in behalf of my colleagues and friends who watched your show in cardiff.... this will be the first and last. We will never ever buy and watch your show ever again. Always remember... you may have the greatest talent in singing but without the fans and people who supported you, your show will be a big FLOP!! 😡😡
@@merce44 maybe she is rushing because they are something important to do... or her child needs her so she is rushing and running... but many people says Lea salonga is a good singing and had a good attitude so maybe she had important to do that day so she is running...
Aww I’m sorry you had such a bad experience with her 😔 I was gutted I didn’t get the chance to meet her afterwards but then again they do say never meet your heroes as you may be disappointed 😔 On this occasion I’m a little glad I didn’t now. But yes she was absolutely fantastic and continues to be one of my favourite vocalists. Xxx
jewell's amazing life yes she is still great on her performance. Pero sana maisip rin nila na kng di dahil sa mga fans na tumatangkilik sa kanila. Wala rin silang show! Nakakasama lng ng loob... di ko malimutan yung boses ni lea nung sabihan nya ako ng “no picture taking!” In a bossy manner. Todo ngit pa ako nung ako na yung magpapa pirma kase nga excited ako... tapos narinig ko yung boses nya na galit na bossy! As in nagulat at and of course napahiya. Then yung mga ibang pilipino yun rin ang sinabi... hindi sya approachable... ang matindi pa nito... dahil ayaw nyang magpa kuha ng picture... kahit malayo na yung mga taong kumukuha ng picture nya... yung mga guards nya pinagbabawalan rin ang ibang pinoy dun! As in pahirapan para lng makakuha ng picture kahit stolen shot! Sana maisip mo lea... tulad ng laging sinasabi ni Boy Abunda sa mga celebrities.... be nice to your fans dahil kung wala kang fans.... walang tatangkilik sayo! Si lea never pa nakipag kamay man lng sa fans just to express her gratitude. Walang kaway sa fans. Parang walang nakikita! She’s a big Snob and a massively arrogant person!
Their chemistry is timeless!
Simon Bowman still has it! 👏👏👏 lea is of course great in this, her song! ❤️❤️❤️
Adele L He sucks, actually.
Never will get tire hear Lea sing this beautiful song.
Them together, is always the best duet 😍
So heartwarming to see these two perform again with so much fondness, staying friends all these years.
Wow Simon Bowman...your cool and of course to Miss Lea Salonga...mabuhay!
Beyond words…just tears
Bravo 👏👏👏 Lea and Simon both have a beautiful amazing voice , I love you both 🥰❤️
Aguada brgy.
Leah’s voice never gets old. Same voice when she sang A Whole New World for the first time! 😍
Love Lea’s clear and pure voice. She is still the best ever
A perfect duet, indeed😘💖🙏…! Bravo, Bravo💐😘🤩🙏…!!!
Missed really this wonderful time of ms.lea and simon browman.
After pandemic I wish miss saigon has old version. Lea n Simon will reunite again. Miss this wonderful tandem of all time.
I was there with my family - a fantastic concert & performance.
Simon is Lea's first love, Lea is Simon's forever love.
She's not.
Simon was already engaged when they first met.
@@earljohnsanchez2493 But looks like Simon didn't marry the girl. I believe Lea holds a very special place in his heart that no other woman could replace.
Aww that was both sweet and cute. Now when can we hear Brad Kane sing Sun and Moon/ Last Night of the World with Lea?
Ohmigaaaad, how I wish hahahaha we would also like to heart it right?
If I remember it right Lea mentioned in an interview that she will not sing Sun and Moon with any other but Simon, it's exclusive for her and Simon
Haha. Luv it tho
I just watched Lea performed in London and I was breathless and speechless, she was amazing
Grabe tlga harmony ng boses nila. May kilig factor! Kakilig!
Wow!! Lea Salonga so MAGICAL.. We are lucky to have you.. We love you so much.. Thank you lea..
Saw them in miss saigon, an amazing duo
I love them together.
Beautiful performance! They both still have it!❤️❤️❤️
Lea Salonga is a world class singer.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE THEIR REUNION/DUET AT LEA'S CONCERT LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. Thank you so much for this!
This is too much for my heart!! Time flies really fast, but they still have that chemistry together... it was a beautiful performance, full of love! ❤️ I kept smiling throughout the video, I really love to see them together once again, thank you for uploading this 😍❤️
Love2 these two amazing singers.(Lea and Simon) they have perfect chemistry. I don't get sick listening to them sing.
Simon's voice still sounds good even with age.
Their chemistry!!!! Damn!! Kilig to the highest level!!
I just love his voice...
They kissed. Oh em geee!!! I screamed
Philippines
LEA Salonga
Your the best
Crystal clear voice..the more she get older the more clarity it sounds..
And he said he didn't really know the song... Uggg... That was soooo good! 😍
remember they are musical people. all they need is to hear some parts of the song and that's it!!!
@@dreamtravel3535 yes! Their ears and brains are trained pretty well... i just wish I could learn and sing a song like that! 😂☺️😂🤭
Ang paborito kong singer Miss Lea Salonga. Khit ano ang gngawa ko pg nrinig ko na boses ni Ms. Lea, iiwanan ko tlga. I really love her voice..
