Multi-Award winning Broadway legend and Disney sensation Lea Salonga set to perform in Los Angeles at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Best known for originating the role of Kim in the musical Miss Saigon, Lea Salonga is also a bona fide “Disney Princess.” Salonga is the glorious singing voices of Princess Jasmine and Fa Mulan in the blockbuster Disney movies Aladdin, Mulan I, and Mulan II. Because Salonga is a familiar voice for Disney, her show at the Disney Concert Hall is anticipated to be a spectacular sold-out event filled with fans of Disney and Salonga alike.

Originally from the Philippines, Lea Salonga continues to captivate audiences worldwide with her breathtaking performances. On November 7, 2005 she sold out Carnegie Hall in an all new show directed by Richard Jay-Alexander and, just prior to that, launched her first major U.S. city concert tour with performances in San Francisco, Atlantic City, Honolulu, Maui, Chicago, Norfolk, Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles, grossing over one million dollars in ticket sales. Salonga gained international stardom for her award-winning lead role as Kim on Broadway in the 1991 production of Miss Saigon. She not only won a Tony Award for “Outstanding Performance by an Leading Actress in a Musical,” but also the Outer Critics Circle Award, the Drama Desk Award and the Laurence Olivier Award (in London where Miss Saigon originated).

Her vast array of theater credits also include Les Miserables as Eponine, the Witch in Into The Woods, Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, The Goodbye Girl, They’re Playing Our Song, Grease, The Fantasticks, Paper Moon, The Bad Seed, The Sound of Music and Annie. In Fall 2002, Salonga made another splash on Broadway starring in the hit revival of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammersteins’s Flower Drum Song, with a re-imagined book by David Henry Hwang. In March 2007, Salonga returned to Broadway to star as Fantine in the 2006 revival of Les Miserables and in July 2008 she will embark on a 39-week tour of Asia and the Philippines starring in Rodgersand Hammerstein’s Cinderella. She can be heard on the original cast recordings of Miss Saigon, Flower Drum Song (Broadway Revival), The King and I (with Julie Andrews and Ben Kingsley), The Nutcracker, Mr. Producer and the Les Miserables 10th Anniversary Concert.

Lea has also recorded over a dozen solo CD’s including Lea Salonga, Lea…In Love, By Heart, Songs from the Screen, Songs From Home, Lea…Live!, Lea Salonga: The Broadway Concert and, most recently Inspired. Salonga has also made several notable appearances on such television shows as ER, As The World Turns, Mr Producer and Russell Watson: The Voice for PBS and the PBS special Les Miserables 10th Anniversary Concert.
