Tony and Olivier Award-winning star and recording artist Lea Salonga continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Celebrated for her lead performances in the Broadway hits Miss Saigon and Les Miserables, as well as for her voice work for Disney’s animated heroines Mulan and Jasmine of Aladdin, New Yorkers finally have a chance to see her in concert at the legendary Town Hall on March 14.
The New York Times writes, “Ms. Salonga’s bright, metallically edged voice is a shiny all-purpose instrument that confidently establishes its dominion over whatever musical setting surrounds it. As Broadway divas go, she is a cut above most,” while Backstage lauds, “Hers is probably one of the clearest and most expressive voices in cabaret and theater today.”
After wrapping up a worldwide tour with Il Divo, Salonga is back for a one-night-only engagement. In her brand new show, audiences will enjoy an array of songs and genres from classic tunes to current hits to Broadway favorites interpreted with the Tony-winning star’s trademark crystal clear voice, moving delivery, and remarkable stage presence. Her repertoire will offer new musical theater compositions, new harmonies of songs and music arrangements forged from an expansive 35-year career, motherhood, and stories from her life ‘on the road’ performing in major cities across continents.
