@teacherrl98406 жыл бұрын
This was an audition, another video on KZbin mislabeled this as the first day of rehearsal. First day of rehearsal was in London at the theater. This was when they were still searching for cast members and they had been traveling around the world searching for "Kim" when they finally landed in the Philippines and then this moment happened. I remember watching the original documentary during the time that Miss Saigon was created and this was the moment she was discovered.

Actually, many foreigners were not aware then and even now that many Filipinos can speak English with native-like fluency like Lea Salonga so she floored them with her diction and singing prowess at such a young age. Cameron even went to Vietnam but couldn't find a good singer without the Vietnamese accent. In another video, Cameron said he was astounded by the Filipino theater artists that he recommended Western theater people to cast Filipino singers in musicals needing an Asian character.

I noticed that during Lea Salonga's audition, the other key persons were really watching Lea so intently, it is only after that they SMILE and BREATHE a SIGH of RELIEF. After searching for so long and from so far .. They FINALLY FOUND THEIR MISS SAIGON.... NOT ONLY ONE BUT TWO( 2) young girls Lea Salonga and Monique Wilson ý( childhood friends) from the Philippines who could perform the very much coveted role alternately. .. when shows starts running. It still really amazes watching the videos of this audition after 30 years .. The music and her voice is so BEAUTIFUL AND TIMELESS!!!

I've been idolizing her since I was little, there's something in her magical voice that always gives me the chills and makes me extremely emotional. I remember, young little me would always search her performances on the internet and I would watch it all day, I basically binge-watched anything Lea related haha. She's like my comfort. It's been years and I still listen to her, and my only wish is to hear her sing live; that'd truly be a dream come true. Thank you Ms. Lea for inspiring people ❤️

Love this! And I agree with you. 17-yr old Lea still gives me goosebumps even now that I'm 34. If I could make a suggestion, listen to Laufey.

Same as Miss Saigon when she reprise her role. 25th Les Mis gave the anniversary west end/broadway royal status with her in it. Amazing to see her blossom.

So magical, the audition is the best, even better than its recording. I hope there would be a whole recording with this kind of arrangement. Goosebumps!

I'm surprised that up to now, our local showbiz does not make a film about the life of Lea Salonga. Even a documentary. She is a source of inspiration especially for Filipinas. Intelligent and self-confident. And most of all a very talented singer which almost all Filipinos can relate to. It's our natural gift as a people.

You just know a winning theater voice like Patti Lu Pone. There is a presence. Something just makes someone an "it" that stands out. You almost are assured they are headed for stardom. The range and strength in her voice, incredible!

This brings back so many memories! I was in high school when she was in Miss Saigon, I’m 2 years younger than her, and she was already popular here in the early 1990’s since we have a huge Filipino community here in Hawai’i. I got to watch her sing live in the mid-2000s and she sounds so much better in a concert hall! 😍❤️😍❤️

The producers said when they heard her sing, that's when they knew the musical could happen and would succeed. So, good audition
