Award-winning star of multiple Broadway musical and international singing sensation
Chances are youβve heard Lea Salonga sing, even if you donβt know youβve heard Lea Salonga sing. The Philippine-born award-winning actress and singer is not only a hugely successful stage actress and multi-Platinum-selling recording artist, she was also the singing voices of two Disney princesses: Mulan, from the film of the same name, and Jasmine in Aladdin.
Born in Manilla, Salonga landed her first Gold record at the age of ten, going multi-Platinum with her self-titled second album when she was still a teenager. Following her huge success at home, she came to London in the late 80s to take on the role of Kim in Miss Saigon, before taking the role to Broadway in 1991, winning a Tony and an Olivier award in the process.
In 1992, Salonga was cast as the singing voice of Jasmine in Aladdin and the following year performed the Oscar-winning song A Whole New World at the Academy Awards. By the end of the decade, sheβd played Eponine in Les MisΓ©rables on Broadway, sang in Mulan and released three more hugely successful albums.
Salonga continued to release solo records alongside stage performances through the next decade, including a return to Broadway in Rodgers & Hammersteinβs Flower Drum Song and a tour of Asia in their production of Cinderella. In 2010, she sold out three weeks of shows at New Yorkβs CafΓ© Carlyle, one of which was released as Lea Salonga: My Story So Far.
In 2015, Salonga starred alongside George Takei in Allegiance, a Broadway musical based on his experiences in an internment camp in Wyoming during WWII. Her recorded output continued apace, including Blurred Lines and the Philippine folk song collection Bahaghari: Rainbow in 2017 and live albums in 2019, with the Brigham Young University Chamber Orchestra, and 2020, with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
In September 2021, Salonga announced the Dream Again tour β named for her single of the same name β set for the UK in June 2022.
In December 2023, the singer announced new tour Stage, Screen & EverythingΒ InΒ Between, including a return to the Theatre Royal Drury Lane β the venue where she made her name as the original Miss Saigon 35 years ago.

It's a memorable night for the whole Filipino community here in Northeast . It was indeed a brilliant and excellent concert. We all enjoyed it . β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
It was totally amazing! All the money was definitely worth it. The show itself was so brilliant as well as the set list!
Lea Salonga's concert last night made me so proud to be Filipino! She is a true artist! And what true artists do is always give respect and acknowledgement to their backing musicians! She was brilliant! Her voice has always been her strength and at her age of 53 yrs, has never faltered! She's still got that crystal clear, perfect pitch voice! Her musical director who is also her brother, Gerard Salonga, was an amazing musical director and worked well with Lea and his musicians. She truly deserved all the standing ovations and respect of the audience. Lea you were amazing!
It's wonderful we really really enjoyed she was very good
Enjoyed the show but would be better if more upbeat music was sang by her. My friends where somehow disappointed as they were expecting her to sing at least even 1 song of Tagalog as 90%of the attendance where all from her native land of Philippines .But overall..I find them very good myself.
Fantastic show and so much looking forward to Lea next London concertππππ
