(Grand slam) Lea Salonga won all the awards in that year for Miss Saigon and that includes Olivier, Critics Circle, Drama Desk and Theater World for Best leading actress in a musical...shes one of the few theater legends who can claim that..

[@Genkuro]

I just hope she can become an EGOT as she keeps on.

[@gnoldantaf6241]

@@Genkuro mahirap yan unless she will dip Hollywood and venture in American TV and music as well, more on Broadway/theatre pero ok lang yan maraming sikat sa Hollywood na kilala siya, so ibig sabihin Broadways is one of the pillars in the entertainment industry aside from acting in a film, TV and doing music

[@eduardochavacano]

why no other Actress won a trophy for Miss Saigon. Lea Salonga has a very Sweet voice! The girl the succeeded Lea Salonga also from Philippines, Jamie Riviera, her voice is so SOUR like it was pineapple juice mixed with coconut vinegar. Her face is also very sour. She is trying too hard. But Lea is such a Natural and her voice so full and dramatic.

[@judibethgamano2872]

Wouldn’t she have had to win the Olivier earlier, she couldn’t have been in the West End at the same time?

Just seen Tony awardee Lea Salonga, the only one who honor God for the blessings she received. You are a gem, Philippines is so proud of you. I am happy you prosper until now. You are blessed as you acknowledged The Almighty God who gives you that extra ordinary talent. R. Salas

[@siskhaty8900]

Everytime i watch award ceremony ,what i always hear from the awardees speech is to thank a lot of people and God at the last.and that was a very big question mark for me because why God is at the end - if ever they mentioned it.why not to thank God first and the rest to follow?yes when i heard Leah thanking God first,i said wow at last i heard an awardee who acknowledged God first .❤❤❤God bless leah

[@elsanery2159]

She's the 1st & the only Filipina who won the "Tony Awards" in London, yr 1990, hosted by Julie Andrews of the blockbuster movie "Sound of Music", for her musical broadway theater in the performing arts. What an extra ordinary talent to bring this great universal pride & honor to her native homeland, the Philippines!!! That's only the tip of an iceberg. Then followed by an overwhelming portfolio of global recognition & success of another broadway musical like Les Miserables, Alladin, Beauty & the Beast, Cinderella & countless disney songs she collaborated with foreign music theaters & film makers. Her flow of achievements was non stop & her God given gift continues to inspire more creativity in the field of performing arts. When given the choice between politics & whatever you prefer to do besides what you have now, you said you want to be an " ambassador of goodwill." With no elaboration, that is an honest, obvious expression of your love for humanity. You speak eloquently & your "resume" shows how damn preoccupied you are in your chosen career, never a dull moment! Being an artist, your personality is well rounded & when you talk, it's so intelligent, straight forward, flawless,& with sense . You can face & talk to anyone straight to their eyes without fear because you only mean the truth. You are highly inspirational & a" role model to the younger generation & their future. USE YOUR VOICE AS A POWERFUL WEAPON TO PROMOTE DEMOCRACY, FREEDOM OF THE PRESS & SPEECH TO MAKE THE PHILIPPINES A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN. YOU CAN DO IT WITH FLYING COLORS BECAUSE THE WHOLE WORLD LOVES YOU OUR PRECIOUS LEA!!!

Napakahusay ni Lea Salonga sa pagganap bilang Kim sa Miss Saigon! At ang pinakamahusay na pagganap ng buong cast ng Miss Saigon ay nuong ipinalabas ito sa Manila, Philippines! Tatlong beses kong pinanood sa Cultural Center of the Philippines! Sana may DVD na puwedeng bilhin para maipamana pa sa mga susunod na henerasyon! Iyung London Original Cast para mahusay ang pagkakaganap!

[@whatevergoesforme5129]

Yep, would also want the DVD of the original London cast of Miss Saigon. I was able to see the Manila production of Miss Saigon once and not with Lea because of sold out tickets with her as Kim, grrrrr. I envy my brother who saw Lea on Broadway as Kim and also got to talk to her backstage after her performance. She was always willing to let her Filipino kababayans see her after her performances.

I agreed. Superb performance in homecoming to Manila
