Just watching Simon Bowman/Lea Salonga's 'Sun and Moon' and this rendition of 'Sun and Moon' makes me awe at how a character, and even a relationship, can be interpreted. In Simon Bowman's version, I felt their relationship to be a true, deep and gentle love. This rendition however magically captures the excitement, innocence and wonder of young love. I love them both!

I don't know if any revival can work after Lea in this role. Hard to tour and say "this will be the second best version of Miss Saigon". Don't get me wrong, I totally support local and touring theatre but I would always cringe if it is not Lea's voice in the lead. Great play, don't know how the next tour will overcome this.

After watching Will Chase in these performances, I have to say he's an excellent Chris. Very passionate in his role, depicting exactly how an American GI would behave. He even looks the part......His body build, hair etc. It was a fantastic pairing up of these two very strong characters with superb singing and acting abilities. Lea's age at that time 17yrs, but was very talented and still much a baby and in her innocent years which gave her the edge over all the actresses now vying for that same part of Kim. Lea, set the bar so high with her intepretation of Kim and her singing and acting ability. I do know the new Productions and casts will never be able to surpass the original castings and production. Lea played Kim for about 11 years both in London and New York and stepped down at 29 years of age. Won a Tony for her role as Kim in Miss Saigon.
@meredithchandler733 жыл бұрын
Lea was 18 when she first played Kim in London. She did it for a year and 3 months. Lea was 20 when she started on Broadway and played Kim for about a year. She didn't go back to the Broadway show until 1999 - I believe for the first 5 months of the year (so she was 27 turning 28 during that time). Then she did a production in Manila at the end of 2000 and went back to Broadway for the closing in Jan 2001 - all age 29. (Lea's birthday is 2/22/71.) Will Chase played Chris during her 5-month return to Broadway in 1999 and the Manila production in 2000. And I'm pretty sure he also went into the final month on Broadway with Lea. Obviously they had very good chemistry. I believe Simon Bowman was Chris for Lea's entire run in London and Willy Falk was Chris when Miss Saigon opened on Broadway. I haven't seen much footage of Willy Falk, but Lea also had great chemistry with Simon Bowman.

Out of the different actor "Chris" pairings with Lea (who is hands down the best Kim), I have to say that Will Chase's voice sounds the best with Lea's. His exuberant acting in this clip is also commendable. I would really love to see this whole production with Lea and Will Chase. I also wish there were more Broadway shows released on DVD, after their current run of course.

His voice is amazing and hearing this shows just how versatile he is. A match made in MT heaven.
