The most people can do with this role is to articulate it for the art and meaning. To understand dedication and control! And most of all to have fun! But I doubt that any Kim even in previous years ever had to feel jealousy, as I think they all did wonderful in their own ways, in all fairness. Musicians are athletes too, ahah! Lea is definitely one that stood out like a star, as she was chosen right away for this role after the Miss Saigon's production team had travelled to Hawaii, New York, Taiwan, and Philippines to find their Kim and everyone who played Kim knows that 🤍

Lea Salonga is phenomenal here but so is Simon Bowman. And I have nothing but the deepest respect for him for being a gentleman towards her and her mother because of Lea's anxiety of doing the love scenes with him without having had the experience of love. Lea always talks in interviews that he felt her reservations and assured her and her mother that he will take care of her and not take advantage of her. That's why after so many years their mutual friendship has always been special to the both of them. And as for many, I prefer their depicition of Kim's and Chris' romance as being innocent and pure, as being reflected in their friendship in real life. 🥰
@microsp20lect28
2 жыл бұрын
anamorphosys85 Yes, I agree! All I can say is that Simon Bowman is a brilliant actor and a true British gentleman. Lea was 18 and Simon was 28 when Miss Saigon was played in 1989. Lea comes from a very protected/sheltered background thus never had any intimate relationship with anyone, never been kissed by a bloke as Simon stated/posted on his website. I can understand and imagine Lea's anxiety and I am sure it took quite a lot of convincing and reassurance to both mother and daughter that this is only an act. Despite of this being an act, it takes my breath away everytime their lips touch. I can feel the innocence, purity, tenderness, true love that both of them portrayed in their given roles. The undeniable fact here is that Simon Bowman was and always will be Lea's first kiss in life.

It literally changed my life. I didn't even know that a fellow Filipina was the voice behind that soul stirring song. I think all 90's kids with self esteem issues relate to that song in a very emotional way. I am not a fan of classical songs but you Lea indpired me to appreciate classical songs. Your voice is sweet, gentle and heavenly. There have been other versions with more powerful voices but your performance is really magical.

Maybe he was told to back off a bit.......But him looking over her head meant that people or film.crew were behind the wall, and it did look awkward. I think he had really fallen for his Kim. Those love scenes must have put a lot of strain on their everyday working life. Who's to know and who's going to tell. But they made a fantastic on screen couple. Lovely to watch.

Lea is definitely one that stood out like a star, as she was chosen right away for this role after the Miss Saigon's production team had travelled to Hawaii, New York, Taiwan, and Philippines to find their Kim and everyone who played Kim knows that 🤍

Hell yeah, current Lea is a close second tho
There's a certain tenderness here that you don't see with the other versions of Lea and varying Chrises ... not that they aren't good, just different. Other versions are more playful, others still more passionate, but I really like how this one is glowing with a quiet sort of tender affection. Bravo to both Ms. Salonga and Mr. Bowman!

You mean 'other versions of Kim'? Anyway, they didn't perform it like this on the stage, because you really have to speak/sing up in order for the nosebleed seats to hear you. This interpretation was for the benefit of television, which is a more intimate medium. Same with movies.

I think he is, Lea said on her interview she never had a boyfriend
It's 13 April 2023 today and here I am again as usual listening to these two of my favorite performers of all time. Their singing together seems like my panacea; it's PERFECT!
The chemistry these two performers have is incredible. Lea is the original miss Saigon:)
You would think they were actually in love. Perfect.
Lea Salonga is phenomenal here but so is Simon Bowman. And I have nothing but the deepest respect for him for being a gentleman towards her and her mother because of Lea's anxiety of doing the love scenes with him without having had the experience of love. Lea always talks in interviews that he felt her reservations and assured her and her mother that he will take care of her and not take advantage of her. That's why after so many years their mutual friendship has always been special to the both of them. And as for many, I prefer their depicition of Kim's and Chris' romance as being innocent and pure, as being reflected in their friendship in real life. 🥰

anamorphosys85 Yes, I agree! All I can say is that Simon Bowman is a brilliant actor and a true British gentleman. Lea was 18 and Simon was 28 when Miss Saigon was played in 1989. Lea comes from a very protected/sheltered background thus never had any intimate relationship with anyone, never been kissed by a bloke as Simon stated/posted on his website. I can understand and imagine Lea's anxiety and I am sure it took quite a lot of convincing and reassurance to both mother and daughter that this is only an act. Despite of this being an act, it takes my breath away everytime their lips touch. I can feel the innocence, purity, tenderness, true love that both of them portrayed in their given roles. The undeniable fact here is that Simon Bowman was and always will be Lea's first kiss in life.

It's 2023 and I am still in awe of this song and performers. I can still feel the deep tender love in each note. Of all Lea's Chris, Simon is still the best for me. Lea is the best Kim ever. I always have goosebumps and become teary each time I see clips of Ms Saigon. How I wish I had the money then to be able to see it in its Manila run. Thanks yt for being there. At least I've seen many parts of the play thru socmed.
simon/lea=passionate and sweet with a innocence will/lea=dynamic explossive with a feelin of danger
He has one of the best suited voices for this role!! Think of what kind of singing was prevelent at the time this show was set...He gives a phenominally intelligent performance... his 'sky' is THE best of any Chris ever...proper projection! blends and complements Leas pure song perfectly. The chemistry on set is brilliant - very natural.

I don't know how many times I hit replay for the past few months of being addicted to this song. I love you Lea. "Reflection" from Mulan was my puberty and self esteem boosting song. It literally changed my life. I didn't even know that a fellow Filipina was the voice behind that soul stirring song. I think all 90's kids with self esteem issues relate to that song in a very emotional way. I am not a fan of classical songs but you Lea indpired me to appreciate classical songs. Your voice is sweet, gentle and heavenly. There have been other versions with more powerful voices but your performance is really magical.

It's 2019 and here am I viewing this video of Lea & Simon's duet of Sun and Moon(which to me is the superior version)Every time I view the video, I still feel the sweetness and tenderness of sublime love, expressed convincingly by these great actors/singers. Too bad that their love ended tragically.
Obsessed with this musical but have never seen it properly live - it was showing at my local cinema. Would absolutely love to see it in a theatre. I sobbed my heart out!
They're both beautiful people & singers! Simon rocks and I think it's needless to say how much lea rocks. Their kisses and voices are so tender yet passionate!
I love Lea and Simons chemistry. So sweet and caring si Simon.Bowman
Wonderful. Lea so young, beautiful and talented. Simon Bowman wonderfully portrays the most tender, loving Chris that I've seen. As in Last Night of the World, he focuses entirely on her and not on promoting himself to the audience .
This never gets old and it's 2020. One of my fave songs of any genre!
They both reunited and sang this in a concert. Search it up. Its just last oct 19 2018
She’s such a baby omg !! She’s so angelic and perfect but also so mature. To do this at such a young age.
watched it a million times❤️❤️❤️❤️
THE BEST KIM and CHRIS for ALL TIME!!! The chemistry and the voices blends well, too. Proud fan here! You set the standard for the others who played the part. But yours was still the best for me! GOD BLESS to both of you...😗😚😍

The ending of Miss Saigon is one of the most tragic that was ever on Broadway.
Soso sweet .love watching their performances. Somon and Lea ( kim and Cris )The best .

Darn it people! It's broadway...you need to transform yourself into a different person whenever you're on stage because you're not you when the play starts. I don't get the nasty comments here about the kissing thing. I mean, she's kinda in the right age when she did this and it's just an effin' kiss. I can't at these people looking at the flaws instead of the talent itself...like really? ugh. Anway, I never thought Lea's voice was this thin and sweet beofre because she's got a bigger voice now.. Lovely duet.

ferdie pagsibigan Not only that; but 17-18 year olds are not so innocent/naive these days thanks to how society developed. People are more sexually mature now; because they feel they need to have sex at a younger age (which i actually don't agree with); but I think the innocence of the performance is incomparable, and is probably lost forever on our generation.

You are sunlight and i moon Joined by the gods of fortune Midnight and high noon Sharing the sky We have been blessed, you and i You are here like a mystery I'm from a world that's so different From all that you are How in the light of one night Did we come so far? Outside day starts to dawn Your moon still floats on high The birds awake The stars shine too My hands still shake I reach for you And we meet in the sky! You are sunlight and i moon Joined here Bright'ning the sky With the flame Of love Made of Sunlight Moonlight Tomorrow will be the full moon I can bring friends to bless our room With paper unicorns and perfume If you want me to
I've loved Miss Saigon since the first time I saw it, 12 and a half years ago now. Re-watching this clip still put me right back to the wonder and magic of discovering it from new. And young Lea Salonga! What a dish, and what a voice. There's something about the sweet innocence and slight underdevelopment of her voice that is so ephemeral, and suits Kim so. MAGIC.
they have so much chemistry together on stage!
I like both of their voices. They perfectly blend well. MISS LEA SALONGA also won a TONY awards for this. A TONY is an equivalent for the OSCARS
2021 here,If you see this I hope you will be successful someday.
the passion shows in lea's face..miss saigon she is..
2019 still there 😍
The most beautiful voice I've ever heard is still a young Lea Salonga.
Made me cry a little...
the melody of this song is god's gift to humanity.
its something about this Lea thats so mesmerizing, i mean there's a lot of people with great beautiful voices but she's beyond that, she's an angel, everytime I hear her sing I just want to cry =). Her music touches my heart and soul

Probably someone called out enough.......It looks like he wanted to keep kissing her and she was kissing him back as well. Maybe he was told to back off a bit.......But him looking over her head meant that people or film.crew were behind the wall, and it did look awkward. I think he had really fallen for his Kim. Those love scenes must have put a lot of strain on their everyday working life. Who's to know and who's going to tell. But they made a fantastic on screen couple. Lovely to watch.
