I had the great privilege of seeing Lea in London with the original cast. Jonathan Pryce and Simon Bowman. I fell in love with her then and am still in love with her now. She is awesome. The best Eponine ever and nobody will ever be Kim as well as her.

For those making comments about Lea's accent, this is actually her natural accent when speaking in English. She is bilingual but American English is her first language having used it since she was little (and also thinking in English) and getting a lot of training in enunciation from Repertory Philippines where Filipino artists also spoke with an American accent. She is also very articulate since she is quite intelligent (graduating valedictorian in HS). Well, it is only natural for her to imbibe the American accent since the Philippines was colonized by the US so those from the upper class or who got an education from exclusive schools tend to have the American accent or a neutral accent. However, Lea was also a child prodigy and has the ear for accents so she could mimic the British accent brilliantly. In London, she was able to switch to British to blend in.

Loved, loved, loved Sean McDermott as Chris. He was the Chris when Broadway changed Kims from Lea Salonga to Leila Florentino in 1992. Wonder why Salonga didn't sing "I'll go with you!" the way she sang it in the stage version. It's more exciting when Kim sings that line an octave up.

OMGoodness! I just watched this video, knowing it’s been 28 years , when I first came to the United States and Miss Saigon was currently showing at that time in New York. I’m still penniless and just starting my life/career and my American Dream so to speak. But, I had to have a piece of that “ Miss Saigon” fever/mania souvenir and had taken the most significant photo in front of the Broadway 🎭 Theater 🎭. That’s epic! It doesn’t matter who ever sings a duet with Lea, for those gentlemen who had sang with her were all equally fantastic. Just feel the song and listen to the lyrics. Bravo to you all.

She's just fantastic, then and now. Re: her fashion taste in her early years.. she was thrown into her career at such an early age that she was wont to wear suits and the like so she would look older than she was. Asian females, especially, could look very young and I would suppose that this is the reason why she would wear "matronly" stuff back then. From an Asian lady who easily looks like a teenager without the "grownup" clothes.

I had the pleasure of attending the final performance of Miss Saigon in Boston as a guest of the cast and got to meet Lea. Also, saw Sean in Showboat at the Marriott Lincolnshire theater in Illinois where I used to live. This is a good song but you should get his album, Piece of the Sky. He does some incredible singing on it. His version of "Music of the Night" puts most of the Phantoms I've seen to shame.

It would have been nice if there was a little bit of interaction by Sean toward Lea as Chris would with Kim. He was a trifle stiff and cold but He's so handsome with lovely dimples and it would have been nice and made alot of people and fans of Miss Saigon happy and proud. if he took her hand or even held her close, would have been nice, after all its a love song. Her duet with David Harris was so loving, they kissed lingeringly during and after the song. That's what makes the song what it is, a Love Song and when two people interact, it makes the song more special and gives a deeper meaning to how the two people singing the song feel about what they're singing about. It was beautiful.

Just stumbled upon this. Incredible voices (obviously) but the sound quality almost has me believing wind screens had not yet been invented in 1991. Those are some serious plosives going on. Sean even moves the mic away from his mouth right after the first "I have found you..." He probably knew he could stay in the mic's polar pattern but not pop the consonants.

@joshgardell I saw Lea Salonga and Jonathan Pryce a week after they won their Tonys in 1991 and that octave change was already frozen in the show. I believe that specific melodic change occurred during the previews in New York so by opening night, Lea was already singing the line that way. My guess is someone felt that Lea and Sean should just do the OLC version for "The Tonight Show."
