🌟 Season 4, Episode 1 – Lea Salonga: A Voice That Shaped Generations
We’re opening Season 4 of The Loida Lewis Podcast with none other than Lea Salonga - the global icon whose voice, artistry, and trailblazing career have inspired millions.
In this conversation, Lea reflects on her beginnings in the Philippines and the pivotal moment she was cast as Kim in Miss Saigon, a role that earned her a Tony, an Olivier, and a place in theater history. She also shares stories about being the singing voice behind beloved Disney heroines Princess Jasmine in Aladdin and in Mulan, and what those opportunities have meant in her journey.
Lea talks about her current Broadway run in Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends, her upcoming shows in the Philippines, and her highly anticipated concert at The Town Hall in New York (tour dates at leasalonga.com). She also shines a light on the incredible wave of Filipino talent on Broadway today, from Eva Noblezada and Darren Criss to Nicole Scherzinger and many others carrying the torch forward.
✨ From stage to screen, from sold-out concerts to inspiring the next generation, Lea Salonga continues to embody excellence, resilience, and artistry at the highest level.
