exactly

She was 17 when she first auditioned, 18 when they started rehearsing and 19 when the show started running. You have to understand that she was already a known child singer in the Philippines and was with Repertory Philippines. Her very first audition piece, she sang The Greatest Love Of All. And when asked to sing another song, she sang On My Own. This audition was probably the last one in London when they have to decide which of the two girls- Lea Salonga and Monique Wilson, both products of Repertory Philippines- would play the original KIm. Monique of course ended up as the understudy. There is a complete DVD of the making of the show.

Saying that she is one of the best Filipino singers is an exceptionally high bar as well. The Philippines has to have some genetic predisposition for incredible singers! I've been there several times and it seems like every hotel, restaurant and bar has live performers and they were all amazing!

I saw miss Saigon back in the early 90's in Broadway NYC when I was a kid. I teared up when she died at the end. She was phenomenal. It was like watching a live movie at front. I was blessed to see her playing as Kim not the other substitutes. One of the best Broadway show ever.

Our student body President Ray Santos was in the Broadway production of Miss Saigon for 10 years so he was on stage with her!

Lea was 17 at that time :) That was a 3 day intensive audition process then was asked to go to London for the final Assessment. They started to look in the Uk, ended up empty handed, then search in The US, New York, L.A, Honolulu then they realised most of the girls who were really good either a Filipino or half Filipino so why not go to the Philippines instead so there they found Lea and 12 more Filipinos.

Leah was 17 yrs old when she auditioned. They allowed her because she was about to turn 18 in a few weeks. When she went to London then that was the time she turned 18. Talk about timing. 😀

Her crisp pronunciation of each words, it's something that is so rare in many singers without it being so obvious and off.

She was one of the few Filipino icon who make us all proud before Manny Pacquiao became famous in the world. Whenever I hear her sing Sun and moon, i feel emotional. Her voice is so soothing, so angelic.

That was Claude-Michel Schonberg, who wrote the music for the musical.

The best musical composer of the 20th century.

Miss Saigon is one of my favorite Broadway shows... it is so sad and some parts are heart-wrenching, but it has moments like this song too... Lea is like you said, a 'powerhouse'. what a talent.

Asking Schonberg an autograph before even singing for Audition was a total badass..

This is not the actual audition but a call back. It's sort of a preparation for the final callback in London. Her audition songs are On My Own and Greatest Love of All. Trivia: She only prepared one song and that is On My Own and she was asked to sing another song.

in spite of her talent & achievements, lea kept a low key & modest. we loved her when she play annie for the repertory philipines during her younger days. lea opened the door for asian actors. she did our country proud.

The producers (miss saigon/lesmiserables) description while looking for the lead role "She has to look and sound innocent but with the lungs of steel bcos she'll be onstage most of the time"... And the songs in that show pretty much has high notes

You should watch the complete “ The making of Miss Saigon” where they start all the world looking for Kim and end up in the Philippines 🇵🇭 where they found what there were looking for, and how the process went on in regards to Kim until she got the role!

Her Majesty Queen, Lea Salonga the 1st!!! Lea is legendary. You both ...so cute ❤️

Leah was 17yrs old when the auditions happened here in the Phils, she turned 18 before the production started in UK. I believe this video is the 2nd round of her audition because she mentioned in an interview before that in her initial audition she performed On my own drom Les mis.

OMG HOW DID I JUST FIND OUT ABOUT THIS CHANNEL?? Literally a fan

They made a docu of the whole thing. Actually there was another song after that a solo.

it's a whole documentary! its the best!

I'm a few years younger than Lea, so I grew up watching her on variety shows on tv. She was always that talented.

The first time I ever saw Leah perform was in the Philippines and she was playing Annie in Little Orphan Annie. She was nine years old at the time, and I became an instant fan.

She's also the singing voice of Mulan (Reflection) and Jasmine (A Whole New World). Not to mention her outstanding performance as Eponine in Les Mis. Yes, she's our Pinoy pride!

More reaction of Lea Salonga please ❤️

I like both of you guys reacting from the heart& i feel it!! Your so gorgeous speaking clearly as water on a drinking bottle..i love you guys..

Goosebumps...every.single.time!

I saw the this whole documentary and it is even more impressive to see how they found Lea. I mean, c'mon they went all around the world to look for the "one" the "Miss Saigon." You're right, it was like the role was literally made for her and all the stars aligned at the right time for her. The moment she walked into that audition, it was like - "C'mon, she's the one!"
