This is considered an iconic performance in musical theater history.

She had so much pressure on her as an Asian actress is this role. She said people were waiting for her to fail, so she would go out every night and sing this song perfectly. Hands down this is the standard for how this song should be done.

Her breakout role was the lead as Kim in Miss Saigon. I saw her perform in London in 1993 and I still have chills from it. ❤️

She is 24 here. The most iconic female broadway singer in history.

I'm a Filipino and genuinely admire her talent and discipline. She got her big break as Miss Saigon. 11:34

Not just natural born talent. Years of specialised training and practice, practice and PRACTICE to be able to deliver this Master Class performance. Just magnificent. Lea was 24 years old here. An inspiration to many.

Her performance always gives me chills, no matter how many times I listen.

This performance is from the 10th Anniversary Concert, which is floating around YouTube. While it’s not the exact staging you’d see in a theater, it’s a beautiful concert performance of the entire show. Well worth a watch!

I think at least 5 million of the views were mine over the years. No matter how many times I watch (and sing along) the emotion is the same. This is simply the equivalent of an Olympian making it look easy. Lea is an absolute ICON. Great review. Les Miserables is pronounced "LAY miz-er-AHH-B" don't worry, we all had to learn. 🙂

Salvo trying to pronounce “Les Miserables” at the beginning of this video is the wholesome AF energy we all need right now 💖

Yeah, Les Miserables is a musical based on the novel by Victor Hugo. You're watching Lea Salonga from the 10th Anniversary Concert from 1995. It's fantastic. If you find the time to watch the entire concert, you won't regret it. Some other songs to check out: "I Dreamed A Dream," "Stars," "One Day More," "Bring Him Home," "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables"... The list goes on and on.

Les Mis is just insanely good - so much emotion in the story, characters, and songs.

I saw this play on Broadway in 1987 at the age of 16. Listened to the soundtrack the entire trip home. This is my absolute favorite musical and I can listen to this on repeat for weeks. My second favorite is Phantom and then Wicked. There may be others in there somewhere but these 3 jump out into my memory. Thank you Mr. Cotton, my Drama teacher in high school that introduced me to the wonderful world of musicals.

There is a full version this is the 10th. There is also the 25th she comes back and place a different character Fantine. Sings the song I Dreamed a Dream. It is amazing 🤩

Lea Salonga won the Tony award at age 20 or so for playing Kim in the musical Miss Saigon. Your heart will break for her. It’s set at the end of the Vietnam War.
