- Here's Lea's inimitable performance of 'Sun and Moon' in the Manila production 12 years ago. I uploaded this for those who are planning to audition for the 2014 London revival. I was lucky enough to see this production back in 2001 with Ima Castro as Kim. This is by far the most lavish staging of this show imho. Enjoy!

you know their acting is effective when you feel like you're third wheeling
Right??!! HAHA
Hhaha
Literally can't look at them for too long. Feels like I'm intruding on a romantic moment
Soaring, tumbling, third wheeling ❤️😂
I know right? 😂
idk how actors can do these kinds of scenes without falling in love with each other.... i end up having a crush on anyone who says 2 words to me
Same
Haha...thats funny. But not me. Lol
this comment is so underrated 😂😂😂
Ikr. Knowing that they have to do that over and over for multiple shows.
That's why they're professionals.
I’m just gonna pretend the rest of the story never happened and that they made it to America safe, together and happy.
Same
Agreed
That's like saying Heathers ended at Seventeen... Let's enjoy our denial. 😅😢
That's what helps me sleep at night. 🙁
Mee two
Seriously, the chemistry is so thick I feel like I'm invading their privacy. I can't even look at them :)
FOR FUCKING REAL. I FEEL LIKE I'M WATCHING SOMETHING SO PRIVATE THAT I JUST HAVE TO SWITCH TO ANOTHER TAB AND _LISTEN_
So sexy and she makes him look so masculine.
You guys are right. It is such intimidating.. hahah it just feels so fuckin real.
Same whahahahaha
That's why it looks great because it's so natural, as if they're not acting at all, so real, amazing performances for both of them
This scene is so romantic yet full of uncertainty and trust at the same time. This is the exact thing why Miss Saigon instilled it's emotions to the audience. Love and all its forms. Love ain't easy.
Florayde Ken Bernardez you mean prostitution aint easy 😐
Mariz Ogladit nope, art ain't easy.
Seriously, that first soft, perfect note of Sun and Moon was so... perfect. If I had a voice like her
Ikr! I sound like a dying cat when I try to sing x_x
Watch her audition clip, only 17 yrs old.
Castiel Winchester hahhhaha
Castiel Winchester your lucky, i sound like a toad
Ohh you're all animals..who of you sounds like a pig?
it's so sad to watch this after you've seen the whole play
Why?!
Hassan Rosman *spoiler warning* He promises to marry her and then after the war they get separated, she has his son, and he gets married. after all that, just so her son can be an American, she kills her self so that way he has to take his son in with him.
it hits me every time.
Ouh means Kim kills herself?
Hassan Rosman
yes :'(
and I thought she was a lovely person:(
CAN WE JUST TAKE A MOMENT AND APPRECIATE THE WAY CHRIS LOOKS AT KIM PLEASE?!?! IT HURTS ME SO MUCH!!!
😭
That’s because in real life they were together 😂😂😂 Pretty certain she lost her virginity to him.
I like the acting of Will Chase. Very natural and super match with our Lea Salonga
Edith Yao
Yes. They have a good chemistry
I can't stop thinking on how Kim sat on Chris' lap and traced his features. To his forehead, to his nose and how she bit her lip and smiled genuinely. *I'm crying don't mind me*
Omg same
Me too😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@shenggaibabiera7545 WTH SAME
those laughter in between lines and the way they look at each other
real kisses
I feel like this song is always forgotten. It's the song that sets the entire musical and makes me emotional every time I listen to it.
The simplicity of their love, compared with the sun and the moon is so powerful. When they say 'and we meet in the sky", it sounds so naive out of context but fits so perfectly in the story, because they are naive and so lost in life. They only have enough to know that their love is as remarkable as the sun and moon's limited encounter in the sky.
If you watch the entire show, you'll realise that the theme of sun and moon is everywhere. It's truly an amazing song. Boublil and Schönberg are an incredibly genius duo.
Sun and Moon is definitely the best song in the show and by far my favourite song in the world because it's the only which has genuinely got me to the core.
Yuki Sutton My favorite song in the show, too, and in the running for my favorite love duet in the musical theater rep (rivaled only by In Whatever Time We Have from Children of Eden). poster's edit: Oh, my goodness, when I posted this originally I was forgetting both Tonight and One Hand, One Heart from West Side Story.
My favorite song in the world 😍😍😍
Sun and Moon can be a theme song both tragic and genuine love story.
Sun and moon was the song Lea sang when she auditioned for miss Saigon way back in Manila. There is a clip you should watch it.😁
Forgotten? Sun and Moon has more videos online than any other Saigon song
.
How she can sing with a perfect note after that kiss 😲 she's really amazing.
That is the flame of love 😂 So strong, that it even does something to you when you are only acting
I was left by my American father and I was always been teased as a GI baby. I have tried searching for my father but I have no idea what his name is. My mom died while she was laboring and I am left with my grandparents. This story resounds so much and it calms the storm inside of me. It revives the memory of my mother. And it reflects the hardships I have experienced. Miss Saigon will always be a part of me.
😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏❣
No 😭 I hope you find your dad.
This sounds so beautifull ❤️❤️❤️
I too hope you form your dad. If God wills it.
Have you tried genetic testing that matches you up with family? You may have some half siblings out there.
their acting is so intimite that I almost had a heart attack after watching this
I love how he raises her up from her kneeling position, to show that she's above him, and then sits her on his lap so that they are now equal ;_;
Literally the cutest moment I’ve ever seen in a musical-
Chris: how would you like-
Kim: how would I like?! (Excited)
Chris: *laughing so freakin excited* How would you like living with me?
Man, it’s not just these lines but the way that he can’t stop holding her to make sure she doesn’t leave him, the way he seems shocked when she responds so quickly before he even fully knows what he’s asking because he’s so suddenly in love he hasn’t even thought about it yet. AH! My HEART!
Look at his fingers at 1:14.
DETAILS BRUH. I wanna be held like that aaaaaaaa
No, it says there "how would you lie" chris said and kim said "how would i lie"
@@breanacourtneysioco7450 No, it is indeed "How would you like?" and "How would I like?" She cut him off mid-sentence before he could fully utter "How would you like living with me?" In short, the point of that moment is that she doesn't fully grasp English. She thinks he's asking her "How do you like (something)?" and she's thinking "How do I like what specifically?"
Lea is so small, she just fits perfectly for Will.
LOL! You make it sound like Will is short himself, but he's actually 6'.
@@musicaltheatergeek79 and Lea is 5'3
Ewwww the orientalist fetishization
This looked so real and intimate and romantic I feel like I'm intruding on a private moment. A true testament to this scene's emotional impact.
And the actors.
@@musicaltheatergeek79 Agreed!
They seem so in love, I absolutely love it! Their chemistry is just perfection.
Ikr! They look so good together. I ship them but oh well Lea is married
ugh American guy is a big joke. He ended up leaving her anyway and got married with some other American girl while she was left to survive with a son.
Mat its always the drama of American Soldiers...poor girls who’ve fell for them, so sorry for their children abandon and neglected
👍👍👍
mat he was told she was dead, what else was he going to do
Thanks for the spoiler T^T yes... i haven't watched the play huhuhu
Where's the spoiler alert for this?!
I was lucky enough to watch Lea perform this live in New York many sun and moons ago and it was magical! But this performance is sooooo sweet and tender. It felt as though they were really in love. Amazing...
Omg I’m so jealous ❤️ But I’m happy you’ve got to experience this!
@@Yourhighnessnona omg we're too late 😅
They're much sweeter than the orginal Chris!
true
TRUE THAT'S WHY I LIKE WILL CHASE BEING CHRIS THAN SIMON BOWMAN
TRUE. I LIKE WILL CHRIS MORE THAN SIMON HUHUHU THEY ARE SO SWEET AND SO IN LOVE AND SO ADORABLE I CAAAAAANTTTTT 😫❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dafro Ko well maybe because simon was so held back by then. She was way too young and he had to be gentle knowing she's just 18 that time still too innocent. I agree though, they, leah and will, had the chemistry. I even thought he was the original chris.
On one of Lea's interviews, she said upon taking the role of Miss Saigon she had no experience with romantic relationships and definitely she was so nervous around Simon. But Simon sat with her and said "you can trust me. I would not take advantage of you. I will take care of you"
and that itself was so sweet 😭
But still I also liked this version too after all that. maybe its a matter of experience really.
This is a classic example of a performance that delivers all the emotions but did not compromise the melody and the vocal requirement for the scene! By far the rendition so far that I have seen in my opinion :)
Bago pa man dumating yung "baby baby you're my sun and moon" my sun and moon na tayo noon pa.
No joke.. I saw a tour performance of this show from the front row, this was years ago.. this song was soo powerful and the actor and actress that were playing Chris and Kim were both weeping during this song.. no joke and it was not scripted. Both of them cried thru it. It was so powerful .. not sure why.. i believe to this day it was the utter POWER and beauty of this song...
I can't help but wonder how the audience felt being like a third wheel to this couple 🤔
I have always loved Lea Salonga. But this particular performance just added my love and respect for her work. I don't just admire her as an astounding singer she already is. But for the passion she puts on every performance. That's true love over there. Not for Will Chase but for the art and performing.
Please! It's obvious she had the hots for him, and vice-versa, but they were both taken at the time. They first did _Miss Saigon_ together on Broadway in 1999. Then Lea requested Will for this run in Manila, Philippines (her homeland), which took place from October to December 2000. Then they flew back to New York to do the last month of _Miss Saigon_ on Broadway, which closed in late January 2001 after nearly a decade.
One of the best Broadway scenes and songs in history. Thank you, Lea and Will for this epic performance. Absolutely beautiful
looking so young but shes 27 at that time 😊💜love you lea
27 is young once you are over 40!
JB my co-singing contestant will play as KIM at the UK Miss saigon tour, she's just 17
Rica Maniago Joreen Bautista? Shes from my school
JB she was 29 here tho.
i'm 27 and i'm new here today
I'VE WATCHED THIS SO MUCH IN THE PAST FEW DAYS I CAN'T STOP
And this was the moment I fell in love with Will Chase.
Me too
Same :D
Don’t mind me, just doing my daily praise of Lea Salonga
everyone around me: shawn and camila are #duetgoals
i feel like two people singing this song terribly would still be a better duet.
Lekha Chunduri ukfhskdhdksje
The two people are Lea Salonga (the girl) and Will chase (the boy). I'm not sure about Will Chase though.
currently 14 and im sad that i couldnt live in such a beautiful generation- where everyone bonded over beautiful music, classical movies like the sound of music, miss saigon, and all i can experience is hearing stories from my mother, grandmother. i felt so curious i had to see it for myself. it took my breath away. the kissing scene is soooo ughhdjfjdkcd goosebumps, even sound of music. i dont get how my classmates and friends havent seen this. few saw it after i wont stop talking about it ahahahahaha
Same here! 14 as well
Currently 15 and I feel the same. This is pure golden talent and our generation should see how the past was so good and so great. I wanna see them live and if I could just travel to the past, I'd surely do.
It's also disappointing that other kids my age don't like these types of thing because they find it "corny". They don't understand true talent and art, they even mock it. What they like are effortless music whose lyrics are all about drugs, money, sex and brokenearted anthems 🙄
It’s ok you’ll find lots of other people eventually who love theatre and will probably love this. Just keep your eye out for them. Theatre is still a love of the younger gen
Hiphop is destroying the young people. Hiphop is more on sex, violence and filthiness.
Thinking that lea salonga was just a teen when they performed it and hearing her said in an interview that during that time, she doesn't have any romantic relationship, she really did very good in acting to be inlove.
Leah was 17 when she was first Miss Saigon in London. This is the Manila production in 2000 so she's 29 here.
I had the privilege to watch miss saigon here in the Philippines 3 times, played by 3 different Kims. Lea Salonga, and the 2 others i just forgot their names. It was held at CCP manila. It was such an unforgettable and magical experience. All of the audiences who watched were formally dressed. It was treated like youre really in broadway.
Bravo! I had the opportunity to play timpani/percussion with Lea. She was incredible! She always is.
Lea looks like she’s still 17… she never ages! This is such a different interpretation from the original…very believable! It’s wonderful, of course. The original will always hold a special place in my memory and ♥️ Lea and Simon created Kim and Chris with pure talent and sizzling chemistry!
This song, as well as "Last Night of the World" (also from Miss Saigon), while tinged with sadness, are two of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Every detail that Lea Salonga and Will Chase put into their performances, both vocally and in their acting, really hit me in the feels. Lea and Will are my favorite Kim and Chris.
So this is the theater... i never knew it so magical.
Will Chase played an American GI Chris, superbly, Again with so much passion as a Marine so in love. Theyre was genuine chemistry between him and his Kim, and his voice was great and sang with conviction, matching Lea's really well, Beautiful and harmonious. I liked it when he really kissed her, it showed the true depth of their love. His acting was fantastic and you felt what he was feeling, and I loved his curley red hair, that was an extra bonus for him. A true love story very similar to another Tragic Musical, Madam Butterfly. But in reality, this is what did happen to so many young girls in the countries where there were GI's. Why are some men so weak and fickle in their emotions that they're never willing to fight for what they really wanted and loved. They were just so ready to give up and live secret lives of guilt never thinking of the repercussions and emotional devastation of their actions and the havoc they left behind. I suppose, as they say, it's one Price of War. So Sad.
i'm going to show my voice teacher this, I must sound like Lea Salonga. She is so perfect and that's why her voice is so preserved till today. All the right, healthy techniques. phenomenal
Best Match !!! Perfect Match. Will chase sweet, romantic and natural acting matches Leah's best. Emotionally powerful!!!
Indeed this chemistry between the leads is palpable, sincere and deep...one is ultimately made aware that their time together is short in that millieu...but their joy in their love cannot be tarnished... WOW 🎉
This performance is literally so flawless it’s unreal. They’re both perfect
its chills me to the bone. They really captured my heart... what a beautiful performance... MISS SAIGON IS TIMELESS...
2020 here. 😍
Heyyyy
I'm amazed at her ability to act "young" here. A great actress, indeed! And of course, superb vocals as always!

2020 na pero kinikilig parin ako sa dalawang to HAHAHAHA
I love you lea!!! I really love your voice..
(Just watching june 10, 2019.. )
Wow I was touched and mesmerised. The chemistry is undeniably strong. I was smiling throughout the whole video. Kinilig ako hihi. This performance was the best. Period
I’ve seen this play 4 different times with 4 different Girls who played Kim and still Lea Salonga is the best amongst all of them!
Will Chase is my favorite. I just love him =)
nobody fucking ask you, Christina
I would, but I have standards.
Never gets old .... Lea's voice better than ever decades later
Lea Salonga is a great singer I love the way she sings it
I love this guy playing Chris, I saw him in Miss Saigon in New York in 1999
Love this song sm😭😭miss Saigon will always be my favourite musical and I like this guy better than the other guy and ofc lea the most beautiful voice I’ve heard
All chris' broken promises. Dammit
I feel like i was the one chris' left behind
He thought she was dead. You expect him to commit to a ghost?
that first line “you are” makes me want to cry! 😭 Thank you Lord for Lea Salonga! ❤️
i keep watching lea salonga in youtube i really love her voice
definitely my favourite chris with Lea Salonga, love them so much :)
It's 2018 and I can't stop watching this sEND HELP I've been replaying the video for 3 days now ;-;
Miguel Guevarra Parehas lang tayo haha
Same hehe.di nakakasawa
2019 na haha
It's really good
🤩
I just watched the 25th Anniversary performance yesterday and I'm back here. I'm crying because the story is so pure. The only safe haven on this story is this scene. My emotions are taking over. I'd better go.
The set of the 25th anniversary is so good. But they have no chemistry. Just a lot of kissing.
My favorite part is from 2:24 - 2:31 ! The harmony is absolutely beautiful! Lea Salonga has such an angelic voice :')
I saw her moon :)) she's so amazing, the voice quality, errthing
The way the music starts to swell and then finally releases on “And we meet in the sky” just makes me feel so many emotions. And the harmony between Kim and Chris is just so powerful. It brings me to tears every time. I wish this song was longer so that people wouldn’t forget it so easily.
Will Chase's voice is playful. That makes me love him more. 😍
the sad part is i will never see Lea doing Kim live. First I wasn't born when the play was made and second I'm only 16 years old so-
same, and also 16
The chemistry unbelievable. The cute laughter in this production adds to the phenomenal production.
oh my god Lea is so wonderful! hearing her voice makes me tear up. Such a talented person
This made me cry.... every relationship has its own flame of love.
I come back to this video every so often because of all the musicals I've seen, this song has touched me the most with it's pure, passionate depiction of love. It's such a wonder to watch Lea and Will, their chemistry is great in this and so tender. I CRY EVERYTIME 😭
I've been crying to this song for the past 4 days
CHRIS YOU HAD ONE JOB
One of the best pairing! Voices and acting wise, they complimented each other.
hit that replay button a thousand times..damn this is good
This is my favorite version of Sun and Moon. Their romantic love for each other looks natural. Everything in this is so natural
I love all of lea’s high notes bc how can I not but how she executes the low notes gives me legit shivers and goosebumps every single time
Who's still watching this in 2019? 😅
2020
2024
Hard to believe this was 20 years ago😮 I still remember watching this at the Cultural Center theatre in Manila, but could only afford the nosebleed section so it's only after watching these clips that I actually see the little details in the acting.
Best Kim and Chris ever!🌟 their height difference is everything😍🥰 this rendition is intimate, sexy and so moving, you never want it to end❤️
This pairing of Lea & Will … perfection. Captured right here, in this delightful clip. They painted palpable purity into the star-crossed characters’ young love through the sweet tone each infused into the lyrics of this beautiful song. Bravo! 👏👏👏
I was here, I saw this ❤️. Miss Saigon's last run.
just wanna acknowledge what different of a level these artists are. Imagine singing, acting, blocking, music, etc. all in one take and it's damn perfect.
The chemistry, the acting, the lyrics, the situation
IT MAKES ME CRY
Who's still with me? Aug 14, 2019
november 1, 2019 (I adore Lea so much ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ)
It's so sad watching this again after knowing what will happen at the end :(
By far my favorite Chris. Will Chase is so passionate and it's truly beautiful.
This has to be some of the most amazing acting I’ve ever seen... :)
Ohmmyyy!They made me feel inlove.I just love it soooo damn much. I wished i was there at their time.
Couldn't tell where I knew Will Chase from, just realized he was Roger in Rent 😂
Emily Arroyo And now people will know him as Billy's dad in Stranger Things 2. 😉
WHATTTTT
Also luc wheeler on Nashville
Was also on Smash on NBC.
I also thought he looked familiar. Then I remember seeing him the first time in the Hallmark movie Lost Valentine
I am in love with the both of them. The chemistry is undeniable. They could pass as real life lovers!
Dammit it haven't even started I'm bawling already! I've seen this before and it was really beautiful.
Aww I love the excitement and passion! His Chris seems to be more like a young boy rather than a protector and I like it that way.. Plus they make a cute couple :D
STOP THIS WAS SO CUTE I WANTED TO CRYYYYY
