Broadway fans everywhere know Lea Salonga as the preternaturally gifted original star of Miss Saigon, and films fans know her best as the voice that brought not one but two Disney princesses (Jasmine and Mulan) to life. Salonga is again sharing that legendary voice with New York audiences, in a return cabaret engagement at landmark New York venue Café Carlyle through June 25. In this week's episode of Show People, the Tony winner sits down with Broadway.com Editor-in-Chief Paul Wontorek to chat about her very un-Disney Princess-like love of splicer-slaying video games, fist-pumping the Tony Awards 20 years after her emotional win and why she would love to guest on Glee playing mom to her talented fellow Filipina, Charice Pempengco.

She maintain her star and respectable status through the years.Everytime she had a concert here in the Philippines it's sold out.

@ligayalacdao4333 Год назад

She did. She's been brought up that way.

@keatondj 11 лет назад

She's got one of the best voices on Earth, she's incredibly beautiful, she's the nicest person I've ever seen, AND she plays video games. She's perfect. No doubt about it.

It's crazy amazing how well versed the interviewer is on different aspects of his interviewees.

@ligayalacdao4333 Год назад

I agree. I have seen some Filipino interviewers interviewing her and Kuh Ledesma (Filipina singer) and they suck at it.

I hope she sees Darren in How To Succeed! Ah, I can't say enough things about her, this comment would be PAGES long!! I just LOVE Lea Salong, she's amazing... 'nuff said!!!

@wallflower7000 13 лет назад

She's amazing. So talented and classy, I don't understand how she's not on Broadway more consistently.

@ligayalacdao4333 Год назад

That's because she's given up Broadway at age 29.

@PinkSwifty22 13 лет назад

@musicaltheatergeek79 11 лет назад

She started out speaking English with a British accent (watch the making of Miss Saigon documentary), but somehow it changed into an American accent, which is what she uses now and has been for 20 years.

@Genkuro 12 лет назад

Beauty, Talent, Humor, ridiculously articulate... I can't put any more positive adjectives to describe this incredible woman.

@lmconn31 11 лет назад

@KilimanGuru 12 лет назад

Oh my glob....She is so COOOOOL man.

@juliuscorrales2194 3 года назад

She is doc.

@MusicInYeshua 11 лет назад

That's called expressing oneself. ;) I found her exaggeration very interesting because she somehow gives off a very positive vibe to the viewers. I see no wrong with that. And I guess that's what makes her a great icon. She expresses herself freely and responsibly, with or without exaggeration. She makes herself, the viewers, and the host (I believe) so comfortable in their talk, that they could make a great time in their show.

@candycaneify 11 лет назад

Love her!

@jonalynpimentel4437 4 года назад

@patmeal 13 лет назад

Stunning human.

@johnayala2540 3 года назад

I can't help but be amazed by Lea's articulateness in English considering that wan't her native tongue, being born and grew up in the Philippines, but she sounded like an American.

@meredithchandler73 Год назад

Lea has said in the past that English is her first language and she didn’t really learn Tagalog until she was a little older. (I think most Filipino schools teach in English. All official documents in the Philippines are written in English.) Filipinos get a lot of American entertainment (music, tv, films). Lea has also talked about how she tends to adopt accents of people speaking around her. You can find early interviews she did in London as a teenager and she speaks with a British accent. You can find videos over the years - if the interviewer speaks in Tagalog and/or English with a Filipino accent, Lea will often speak with a bit of a Filipino accent. But obviously she can speak without it!

@mspatrisia92 13 лет назад

wow. she has been famous even before i was born. LOVE HER!!!

@riannepaborito 13 лет назад

Cool! I should make video games as one of my hobbies if I wanna unload all the stress and all the negative vibes. Better yet, Tekken again at Timezone. Nice tip! We still love Ms. Lea for her amazing talent!

"You know what? I gotta kill something." That's our Lea Salonga... :)

@rickybob1211 11 лет назад

you can do a talk show Lea !

@lathspell87 2 года назад

I mean... she's intelligent, witty, talented, beautiful, and is a gamer. It's not fair that a woman like her actually exists. Where do I find my Lea Salonga?

@mikomiko321 13 лет назад

Stunning lady!

@TheSongwritingCat 11 лет назад

She is so talented. I want to finally see her in a production with a stage door. I saw her in Miss Saigon when I was too young to really get it and I recently saw her in the Philippines when she did Cinderella. With those Disney movies, Lea's voice sounds like my childhood. Love her so much.
