Ask any screen actor who truly gave it their all.

We are very proud of her for reaching international bounds and seeing how international people react to her talent and abilities makes us also see and appreciate the talent that she has. But Filipinos are not new to singers, so in regards to voice, it is evident how great and astounding Lea is among other artists.

LEA SALONGA stage actress started when she was very young from Repertory Philippines to west end in london and to Broadway and also Disney Princess Jasmine and Mulan She only filipina won in Tony Awards and Sir Lawrence Oliver awards for best actress in the Musicals she recieved 5 awards from Musicals...she's very talented...she's gifted.✌😍🇹🇭🇵🇭

theatre is the highest form of acting. Lea Salonga is superb!

She's one of the reasons why I want to do theatre. But I have a really bad case of anxiety infront of stages and I've already have enough of some people laughing at my voice cracks.

sameee seeing this performance inspired me theatre looks really fun and I rly wanna be part of it. i often use theatre as a way to get out of my comfort zone bc I'm so anxious around people and crowds. also don't be discouraged !! with time you will achieve greatness in your life !!

This why I always respect Lea Salonga not just a singer but as an artist in general. She is true to her craft and never ceased to amaze me. 🎉

Wow!!! The acting is PHENOMENAL, not to mention the SINGING. The emotions are so strong they're palpable. Thuy's act of desparation, and Kim's undeterred love. Wow. I got chills and tears..

It's IMHO that the Manila production is better than the West End production because of Sena and the engineer was actually played by an Asian. Also, by this time, Lea was a super pro.

Yup - Jonathan Price and the white guy who played Tui in the West End original did a great job - but when I saw it they had these ridiculous prosthetics on their eyes to make them look chinese which was rather distracting. They gave great performances but it's more realistic to use people of the correct ethnicity for those roles. Having said that - I recently saw a production of Amadeus with a black guy playing Salieri who did a good job - but yeah - having the wrong ethnicity for a historical role is kinda dumb.

@@brickmissing8295 but it's theatre. It's literal roleplaying so ethnicity of actors doesnt really matter. Anyone can be played by anyone as long as you give the most satisfying performance. Heck, even people play trees and rocks.

I wish I had the money during that time when Lea was doing Miss Saigon, I was still in college. I would pay 10x now if she will do it again

So thankful that i was able to watch Miss Saigon when it shown here in the Philippines. So proud of the Filipino artists.

No wonder she won. June 2019. Still Watching?

OMG!!!! Lea is a complete pro....her voice and passion gets me every time!!!! True artist!!

I believe Miss Lea Salonga is the best Filipino perfomer ever. ♥️

From 4:00 on, the scene became more intense. Both Lea and Robert's acting really outshone their own singing from that moment. Omg, I cannot express how much I love musical theatre!!!

Just thought of this now, but Kim shooting Thuy, the way she holds him, her scream, and Tam watching is an eerie foreshadowing of Act 2.

I watched Miss Saigon 20x on broadway. 5 of them were played by Lea. Yup, she delivers EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!

I was breathing heavily for minutes after watching this.I looked around and remained still ... Maimed so to speak. Performances like that don't just happen. I'm lost for appropriate words.Lea and Robert were immortalised here.

How can someone say SHE CAN'T ACT??? WTF is this?? Very deserving for a Olivier and Tony Awards!!!!!

I never get tired of rewatching this again and again. I always got goosebumps and I am always carried by their emotions and the way they portray their individual role. Such an amazing artist. Lea's voice is so incredible and very clear. She is totally a living LEGEND. NO ONE WOULD COMPARE HOW GIFTED SHE IS AND HOW PHENOMENAL SHE WOULD ALWAYS BE ❤️💙

I love how she straightened her shirt in a futile effort to redeem her dignity. Kudos Lea, you brought forth perfection in Miss Saigon. Kudos to Robert and Leo too. What amazing talents you have!

Who’s still watching this in 2020?

Lea’s acting is so underrated... her singing is amazing but i feel people often forget her acting is also amazing

3:45 had goosebumps and i felt her. Goodness. How hard it is to sing and act at the same time with emotions and all...im taking my hats off fot the legend

Am I the only one seeing how amazing the acting of the little boy too? :-)

this is my first time watching this, and even without knowing the whole story of miss saigon this scene alone made me tear up. Kudos to these people

Sad that people internationally greatly respect her and even calls her "Legend" but not in her own country. 😭

Theater plays never gets old, the emotions get to you and make u feel like a part of the scene. I really love how lea makes you feel drawn to what she sings... she is able to express all these emotions as she sings each syllables clearly. Spot on!

The Manila production was awesome. I still tear up remembering how lucky I was to have watched Lea Salonga in one of the runs.

I remember this scene in my college days. We did this on our THEATER ACT SUBJECT. LEA is great with amazing performances and amazing voice in theater acts. I always adore her.

Lea Salonga you are the best. I saw Miss Saigon in New York, but it was your understudy. I wish it was you. I watched this video several times and it always makes me cry. Your singing and acting is superb.

08/2020 ... I'm here.. Meghalaya,India. I've been watching Lea Salonga's videos for the past one hour now. Wow, she sang A whole new world (Alladin) and reflection (Mulan) so beautifully and flawlessly. Her voice is so powerful. Praise the Lord for his gift to her.

Oh my goodness. Lea’s, “For him, I’ll kill,” is so hauntingly beautiful and clear. She’s a queen ☺️

No matter how many times I see any of these scenes I never stop feeling just complete awe. They're all amazing and the acting is so intense and raw and genuine. But Lea. Man, Lea. You forget it's an act. Those emotions. That voice. She's a legend. The cast here is full of amazing actors and singers, but Lea just blows my mind.

That was so amazing. I just wanna appreciate Lea’s and Robert’s emotions

Sept. 2020.. This is very impressive performance. It was mind blowing how she sings perfectly while acting intensely with this scene. She is truly a legend, Philippines' National Treasure.

Omg! I have goosebumps watching the best in the Philippines, Lea Salonga.
