Lea Salonga Highlights in Miss Saigon

- There is no doubt that I am a huge fan of Lea Salonga and the musical she first starred in, Miss Saigon. She also starred in a lot of other musicals, like Les Mis, Flower Drum Song, and Allegiance. But Miss Saigon is probably the best one and my favorite out of all. Miss Saigon finally has a Broadway revival after so many years, and it's stars Eva Noblezada in the title role. This video is just a small tribute for my love for Lea and Miss Saigon. Hope you enjoy it!
I do not own the clips shown. All rights go to the respectful owner.
I was born too late to have witnessed Lea Salonga live... But I guess born just in time for RUclips...
tvu86 as Kim, yes, but she's still touring so your chance to see her in person may still come some day ....
Watching this video when Lea Salonga's career was at the most peak gives me goosebumps. Wow! Her accomplishments in the field of musical theater was phenomenal and made her a legend....
Live is always better though
Me too 🥰
Tvu, I saw Lea in the original cast on Broadway, some 30 years ago. I went on to see the show 6 more times in the ensuing years. I never saw this video until today. I am crying my eyes out. The show was absolute perfection and the amazing Lea Salonga still holds a place in my heart.
To have seen her in person playing this role is a cherished memory
I saw it the first time, by my myself, boy oh boy, my TEARS won't stop. I can't hold my emotions. The second time around with my hubby, the show capture again my emotions but Less tears this time. Thanks god for that.
You have my envy.
You are so lucky.
Yes and all the people where crying
That's my biggest regret, that even though I watched Miss Saigon twice, Lea Salonga was no longer the Kim. I'm glad people are posting videos of the performance; not quite the original performance, but sure is better than nothing.
I think the main reason why Lea stands out to the rest of the Kim is her ability to deliver the song with all its emotions without compromising the technical vocal requirements needed. Her ability to deliver a soft and powerful runs when it’s needed it’s just phenomenal.
Definitely yes kabayan! Exceptional talent beyond compare. I love how she delivers her acting and singing prowess so clearly and pleasant to everyone's ear. Super galing ang linaw ng lyrics nya at never na di mo naintindihan ang message of her acts. She still is the Philippines' pride.

Agree! Kitang kita mahal na mahal nya ang kanyang ginagawa. She puts her self in the situation kaya ang ganda ng kinalabasan ng act at singing. First time to watch her.😍😍
Plus she can learn a song within a short span of time.. in an interview I heard 10-15 mins. She can sing and memorize a new song
That’s the advantage of being the one who originated the role. Everyone else will be measured with her performance. Too bad for the others who followed because Lea had already set the bar too high with her excellent portrayal of Kim.
Anyone here still watching this MAY 2019?
Meee!!!
Me too!
meeeee toooooo😘😘😘😘
Yep
Meeeeee....
The sun and moon represents Kim and Chris. Just like a tangent line. They will both cross each other but the cannot be together. As the sun fades, the moon shines. They only met before dawn and separate again. 😭😭😭 Just like Lea and Chris.
Omg 😭😭😭 that's beautiful and sad
My favourite song from the whole production. I watched Ms. Saigon in New York in the 90’s with original casts.
very nice interpretation.
You don't have to remind me 😭😭
Or maybe its white colonialist jacking material
Its 2020 of march! Lea Salonga's acting and singing prowess is a statement of an artist world class! Proud to be a Filipino!
and she could achieve. But people in America got so sick of the Filipino Pride drama. So Lea eventually the American national anthem in a sporting event. No doubt Lea has an American passport already.
May 2020 here!! I just found myself searching for best of lea salonga. She's really amazing!
Feb 2021 as proud as before.
Proud for her..bugok ka kung being a pinoy ka proud..there are thousanda of reasona not to..stup..
no one will beat lea salongas standard
gerald ynson so true! I watched a few alternate Kims like Lianah sta ana. She was good but not quite at Lea’s level. I guess Lea is truly incomparable, one of a kind!
Maybe fans of sarah can beat haha
Lana I disagree
One of the most demanding roles ever! Not only is it amazing how she's perfection in her portrayal of the character her, she's able to act years "younger" and she transitions to all those low and high notes incredibly smoothly!
I cried like a baby T_T
She was young back then. 17
By
Her character Kim, is older than her actual age back then
This came out in 1995. Lea was young then.
i should be studying but im crying over this instead
Celina Isabel Reynoso lol of course there is no auto tune cuz it's live
Same!
omg same
The Queen of Broadway Musicals... Extremely talented iconic lady.
The
Don't get carried away. With all due respect, Lea is an excellent musical theater talent but there are many, many, many more BEFORE Leawho were great Broadway talents and nobody, repeat: repeat nobody has been anointed as the Queen of Broadway musicals.
Rod Belt it’s subjective lol chill pls
I saw this in London.
Twenty years ago with Lea.
you are so LUCKY!
YOU’RE SO LUCKY!!!!!! Lea is amazing! 💜
Your so lucky...not once I have not seen her😭...but now I’ll be able to since I’m in the US ...hoping she will have a concert here. I would love to watch for sure😍
You are so lucky.
Lucky!!!!!! ❤️
During her audition, I saw her a very young, youthful and innocent girl, yet the transition of her look during the play was so beyond my expectation. She is damn so into that “character”. Now, what made my in tears in that on how emotionally she brought that on stage while singing with clear and clean angelic voice and a lot more during the transitions of her voices on diffrent scenes. I love it. I wish I were part of that Gold time to witness the play.
One of the clearest voices every! Enunciation is perfect!
I have actually watched Ms. Leah Salonga perform Les Miserables over 22 yrs ago in Edinburgh, Scotland. We had dinner after the show and I was very quiet all through dinner. I was in awe . . . It’s like a new world has opened up before me. My heart was overflowing my brain was in shock, but I couldn’t feel my body . . . It was the most magical and wonderful experience to this date and I am almost 65 yrs of age. I adore Ms. Leah Salonga as an artist. She makes me very emotional every time I watch her. She is the total package. Bravo Ms. Leah ! ! !
that’s wonderful!!! sad to miss it 😢
I watched the revival. And I must say, Lea is still the gold standard.
Fannish Fanning She always will be.
Oh yes! No one can beat her. Watched the revival too.
@@labellavita12 i can see your comments in every lea salonga video. I think we can be friends 😂
@@ALLshALLfALL06 hihi! Of course we can. I do download Lea's videos too :)
@@labellavita12 nice! I will reply to your comments whenever I stumble upon them. Have a great day ahead! XD
Lea truly earned her Tony in this role.
So did Jonathan Pryce (the Engineer)
“You will not touch him” whole scene from the argument till Kim is screaming in sadness, is one of the best! 💙
Veryn
k
MAGNIFICENT ACTRESS AND AN EXCELLENT SINGER. LEA SALONGA IS THE BEST KIM.
And eponine 😭💖
And Fantine
She’s the best at playing dying characters lol
Kaya pala nanalo sa toni subrang galing,napakagaling ni lea salongga dito,isipin mo live di katulad pilikula mayron take,proud na proud ako bilang isang pilipino
Just I magine memorize nya lahat Ng lines with perfect emotion and at the same time singing and acting no errors for how many hours she's a genius despite her age at that time this the standard and no one can replace the original
She's a legend for this role ! No one can beat her, that's why she earn Tony for this musical her voice and acting was perfect and incredible!
I'm not a theater kid
But i discovered this on internet
I cannot imagine that I would be so moved for these live Musicals
Gosh I found a new Happiness
yayyy!! welcome to the theatre community :)
Sameeee
me too
Oh my gosh, how I ended up here. I'm streaming youtube for 6 hrs. I just watched the new version of the "A Whole New World" and compared it to the original which is sung by Miss Lea ofcourse and Brad if am not mistaken. Then went to another version, a Philippine vers sung by Morissette Amon and Darren Espanto( it's a sample only because the official song or the Music Video will come out very soon for the sole purpose of the Live action Movie of Aladin). Then, I watched all stuffs about Miss Lea and I ended up here. She's trully a Broadway Diva/Queen.
Mhaygaad same 🤣🤣
Wew same!
Shocks same hahahahah
We are same bro hahaha
True she is!
Note to self - don't watch this at school unless you want to cry in front of everyone
Maysaa Alikhan you're right... good thing i watched it at home by myself. My tears was really flowing freely. 😢😢😢😢
Lea Salonga set the extremely high standard every Kim in a Miss Saigon performance should reach.
omg.. to think that these are just bits of the play in this video.. yet i am tears like i've watched the whole story/play.
Balot Penoy true tho
Lea Salonga is the best out there! A history!
I am Azenic yeh!..she's super the best👍🏻🙂
No one can replace LEA..she's still the best.She's so beautiful inside and out.😘😘😘
Grace Llanto Amen 🙏
Ohhh why am I crying? March 2019 anyone?
👋
you are crying because she makes you believe every word, it so emotional I am crying like a baby. I had the privilege of seeing her perform this when it was first premiered in London and I have never forgotten it,
Cris Bernardo actually.....April 2019!
Because your generation loves to cry. You cry at everything. Back then we call people who cry easily as crybabies and today everybody is into crying.
Maret Villa take your ocy and take your nap, Maret. Youre getting cranky
She must have armed with BIONIC LUNGS to sustain those long notes! Distinctive, Emotive, Provocative, Powerfull VOICE, a class of her own, LEA. Second to none.
Since the first time I saw Miss Saigon, I believed that Miss Saigon was written for Lea Salonga. She built up the character Kim and no one could ever surpass her amazing talent and portrayal of Miss Saigon. Most deserving of awards and accolades.
I'm a Filipina and it's not the first time that I heard Lea sing but this is the first time I've seen this and oh my God I was blown away. Her voice is gold! 💖
di alam ng mga new generation who is lea before pero once na makita nila mga old videos niya mamangha sila
who still watch in march 4, 2019 😁
🙌🙌🙌
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
March 10 🙌
She is really amazing! Filipino pride.
March 18,'19
She was the original Kim and nobody can beat her emotional performances. I so adore her !
Lea Salonga as Kim was the best Miss Saigon ever. The Gold standard.
Platinum indeed!
Love how she say “TAM!” She’s so into the character 😊👏🏼
The scene at 9:19 always gives me chills. I think it's not easy to portray so much emotion while trying to control her voice.
I just realized how great of an artist she is.
She’s a BRILLIANT singer and actress, and so much more accomplished internationally than many performers combined!
Still watching... 2021 anyone?! waaaahhhh! im crying!
"How in one night did we come so far" so sweet yet very painful. Just because of that one night kim learn to hope and to believe to the impossible things. This musical is so so painful. It made me cry right now dang it!!!!
She's the original irreplaceable the one and only national treasure
anyone still watching this april 2019?
Mobile Legends Highlights Global. You bet! She was incredible even then.
Me, watching 5 May 2019!
May 12,2019
I do!!! Ilove leah!
May 2019
sabi nga nila ginawa ang mga kanta ng miss saigon para tlaga kay lea salonga... pamantayan kahit sino pa ang pumalit sa kanya boses parin nia ang fit sa mga kanta ng miss saigon... ☺️☺️☺️
Wait lng. Sna figurative lng ang comment mo pre. Ksi kumpleto n lhat ng kanta bgo p man cla mgpa-audition, actually buong production nka-plano n bgo p ang audition. Pero si lea yun nkita nlng bgay tlga s kim role.
Ibig po sigurong sabihin niya ay destined po siguro talaga kay ms. Lea yung mga kanta po. 😊
Ang ibig sabihin niyan yung mga keys and notes ay binagay sa boses ni miss lea, may mga songs na na nakaready pero yung mga keys pwede itaas at iba
Death Ledger Ang ibig nya sabihin ay ang arrangement and range ng kanta ay inaayon sa boses ni Lea nung sya na ang na-cast for the role. Yes, i agree with you na naisulat na ang mga kanta but then it was known na marami ang binago nung si Lea na ang napili para bumagay sa kanya.
Much more to say that the destiny created it to be sung by Leah. ❤️
To all of us Lea Salonga fans, let not forget the fact that she was only at the tender age of 17, when she got picked to perform these difficult songs. Along w/ the acting and dancing. She's truly a gifted prodigy.
This compilation deserves to be watched by all aspiring actors and singers and all the world over and over again.
Eva was amazing as Kim but no one beats Lea
manila 2000 production. i vividly remember watching this at the cultural center of the Philippines. magical moment.
I was there too . . 😊
Oh guys both of you are so Lucky
Was it the Vice President’s night?, i was there too, rubbing elbows with former president Gloria M Arroyo.
Sana all
Im an Emo Guy, i just here to watch Pierce the veil, Alesana and other Screamo emo rock bands, but suddenly im here watching Lea Salonga. No regrets. Lea sings full of emotions than Emo Bands. 😂😊

Saw Lea Salonga as Kim on Broadway , PERFECTION !
Watching this here making me cry. I can really feel every emotion in her voice. How i wish i was born earlier so i can watch this live. It seems like the story was written for her alone. She's so Magnificent!!👏👏👏
How in one night have we come so far?
The saddest line ever! The context, the realness, the emotion and the dawning of one's life. The fucking best.
The queen of 🎭 broadway!!only lea salongga
The discipline she received from her mom was perfect.
Hello 2019, who's watching?
Anyone watching in November 2019?
I am drained just watching this. All the emotions. Wow! You gotta have very good endurance and powerful stamina to withstand this type of high standard performance.
Millennials should see this...🤩🤩🤩
Jayson Gopio I'm seeing iit now
Baka Gen Z
Pop singers / autotune singers should see this more than millennials. Cant even listen to most of todays music because All you hear are noise.
Her talent is timeless, not only the millennials should see this but the generation after us and so on
Gen Zs not the Millees. We love Lea S.
i will never forget the experience of watching and hearing lea salonga live!
Eilyn Nidea im jealous 😍i want to see her in live but im watching now on RUclips shes amazing, falling tears 😭
Crying... 😭😭😭 Why do most beautiful love stories have to have sad endings????? 😭😭😭
That boy is lucky to hear lea sing literally few inches apart
The musical made for Ms Lea Salonga...
I was new in NYC and preparing for my NCLEX exam I told myself that I’ll see her when I pass the exam,when I pass the exam,10 newly minted nurses who happens to be Filipinos when to see on a Wednesday night we were so excited to See Miss Saigon that was 25 years ago,and saw it five more times,Lea Salonga the one and only.
This 13 minute video really made me shed tears! Lea is great!
Hair-raising.. goosebumps.. unforgettable! In a word.. LEA! 👏
TheBEST Broadway singer of all.
Oh my God im soooo late and cant believe Lea's acting & singing in live musical . This act is only for talented people .So amazing ...
Why did I cry??? Lea delivers Kim perfectly... No one can replace her as the original miss saigon
Lea Salonga the best singer & actress in musical theatre of her generation .... voice of an angel ...none better than Lea
Mckintosh, Boublil and Schonberg found their Holy Grail in Lea Salonga when they discovered Kim in their Manila Miss Saigon audition (1988) thirty years ago.
Lea Salonga will always be the original and best Kim ever.
I saw her in the West End in original production, original cast. Spectacular. Have seen Miss Saigon four times on stage. Original and 25 th anniversary production in London. Then on Broadway and at Kennedy Center. But the first time was still the best. It always makes me cry
Lea is the best miss Saigon! No one can replace her.
The legendary Lea Salonga.
She's too young but the depth of her understanding to the character is outstanding!
Its her passion that takes her to the highest level
Is it just me who was amazed by Lea for just singing all along the play? Perhaps many singer can sing amazingly but Lea is just...Wow..just Wow..
Requires a lung of steel 😎
There will never be another performance that can surpass ms salonga’s portrayal of Kim. She literally made Kim in such a way that you can’t imagine anybody else doing it the same way. Phenomenal thespian like no other, not only can she sing great with clarity but she backs up that voice with incredible register of emotion. Long live the legend!!!
Amazing performance. She's perfect for the Role she portrayed with such powerful emotion & her voice Never wavered. PERFECT!!!!
This is how women were treated during war
Best diction!
this is so beautiful...undying talented iconic,broadway legend, one and only Lea Salonga!! i love you so much idol!
I have known this video for years... Today I watched it again... Every time I am so moved and I have tears in my eyes... This is just wonderful... Lea is perfection.
Ang galing super tlaga👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Nkatatak na tlaga sa name ni Lea ang Miss Saigon kht sino pa ang mga sumunod sa knya LEA is the Best . . .Love you Lea. . .
