Broadway's 'Once on This Island' cast talks revival, gives dressing room performance

[@MichaelRoySoliman]

Oh Lea Salonga, her presence simply brightens any room. And this is a great cast! Congratulations to everyone behind OOTI for having 8 Tony nominations!

[@MackTN74]

Love this musical-this had me in tears and ugly crying as they sang about what each of the gods did when Ti Moune “dies”...what a cast and what a show!!!

[@m4giceyetr1x]

Our one and only -- Ms. LEA SALONGA!! To think, ang taas ng tingin nila kay Ms. Lea and referring to her as such a renowned theater person, like on 8:05 when Robin Roberts emphasized on the great honor it must feel for the new generation of theater actors to work alongside someone like her - a legend, a veteran, Miss Saigon fame (8:57) and even pointing out how she has been doing this for a really long time and showing that she really is a big deal! Love her to bits and super proud of her - Always raising our flag..

When you put lea into like that, the nostalgic and the highlevel of talent and excellence is palpable. She is really a respected artist in the field of broadway.

I love Alex Newell so much and I seriously pray he wins a Tony Award.

[@ZoraTheberge]

Whitney Houston unfortunately he isn’t nominated for Once on this Island

[@Isa-wisa2002]

[@angelbacayana6226]

I got shook when I saw Lea Salonga bc She’s one of my favs. She’s a filipino

[@mermaidopulence8539]

Omg this was so freaking amazing......and when the baby started talking I almost cried

[@isabellp.5730]

I am hopefully going to go see this when I go to New York this summer. It will be my first time there, and my first Broadway show. Oh my gosh I am going to cry tears of joy if I get tickets.

[@freespiritmara]

I hope you were able to see this show, and cry tears of joy! 😊

[@isabellp.5730]

I DID AND I CRIED

[@sameolelinedudes947]

Kicking myself for only seeing the final performance 1/6. Had I known it was so good I would have seen it multiple times throughout the run. Alex, Hailey, Tamyra, Lea and company were fantastic!!!!! #linedudes

[@valerienagel5882]

Amazing. Brought tears to my eyes.

I loved everything about this play and the cast is magical 😍😍

[@NayvieNoir]

Excuse you, why is Daniel here when he’s the reason Ti Moune died? (This is a joke and Isaac is a darling precious sweet angel boy)

[@liparoczai]

It's funny because in every TV performance I've seen of the cast they alter the number in some way so that his character is present and shaking his booty ;)

[@carsonstell4704]

Daniel power!

[@viklika]
