You have heard her. She was the singing voice for Mulan and I believe Jasmine from Aladdin. Among many other things.

She is the pride of the Philippines Miss Saigon. She is a Legend. 😍👌🇵🇭

Lea Salonga - the Philippines’ very own Disney Princess is a world-class talent!

Shes the voice of princess Jasmine in Disney's Aladdin singing a whole new world and shes also the voice singing reflection in mulan.please also react to her and Eric Santos singing could we be in love.

She's phenomenal!! She's won a Tony, Laurence Olivier, Drama Desk and Theatre World Award.

I love the ending after she is done singing.  The audience is applauding but is Lea smiling and bowing, accepting the accolades--NO.  She is still in character.  A truly awesome performance  from a master of her craft

She is one of my favorite Eponine’s. Love her version. My favorite musical, I’ll watch it any time I can.

Her first starring role was in Miss Saigon and she absolutely owned that show.  Nothing but success ever since.

Lea Salong was just 18 when she became famous worldwide, starring in the lead role of "Kim" when the musical MISS SAIGON premiered at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London UK, on Sept 20, 1989.

you should look up her auditioning for 'Miss Saigon'.  so pure.

It’s the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. True it’s completely beautiful with real Orchestra.

The First Asian to win a TONY Award 💯✨

Her name is pronounced LAY-uh, as in Princess Leia--fitting as she's the singing voice of two Disney princesses.

She was by far the best Eponine. Her voice was perfect for it. I liked Ann Hathaway, but Lea Salonga's voice was made for theatrical performances.

Kinda surprised you haven't heard of her if you say you've done theater.

I believe she is the original "Kim" in Miss Saigon

The Queen miss saigon leah salonga ph. ,she is the legendary Queen.❤💗💖💞.

I’m surprised you haven’t come across Lea before, especially as you’re a fan of the theatre. She is the queen of Broadway & the west end and had played various characters in ‘les mis’ in productions at both. She was the first Asian to win a Tony award, for her leading role in ‘miss Saigon’ (Lea was the original miss saigon at only 18 yrs old). She is probably best known on the more mainstream music industry as a real life Disney princess & is the voice of Jasmin (Aladdin) & Milan on the Disney films.  Yet another amazing singer from the Philippines (there must be something in the water!!how else would a relatively small nation produce so many good singers?).

She was all ready to train as a doctor & was ready for med school when she got the chance to audition for miss Saigon, needless to say she blew Cameron mackintosh outta the water despite her young age & the rest they say is history. Her brother Gerard is also extremely talented, he is an orchestra conductor & can often be seen leading the orchestra when lea is performing in concert or on TV ( I think I read somewhere that ‘his’ orchestra is based in Australia, something like the Sydney philharmonic ).

There is a really excellent & very moving video doing the rounds along with the one you’ve just seen of lea’s rendition of ‘don’t cry for me Argentina’ from the musical ‘Evita’ ( I shall try & locate it & send you the link)

Awesome reaction. Please do check out Lea Salonga perform Don't Cry For Me Argentina.
