YT algorithm be like: I know you've watched this several times before, hit the repeat button tonight!

[@maraluarte6645]

This should be entitled KIM and CHRIS: AN ALTERNATIVE ENDING! hahhahahaha... I am screaming inside because of the kilig! hahahaa

[@HumanSagaVault]

That man aged like fine wine, so handsome, their chemistry is off the charts until now🥰

[@PearlF1966]

I love how they just naturally fall into character after so many years and still sings so beautifully together.

[@Carloslee321]

Iconic male voice

[@alphaphileasaguiguit9462]

They have this kind of special connection it is not romantic but you just know that it's love made by miss saigon.

[@milagroslacanlale]

Lea and Simon Bowman still have the chemistry and the love and the friendship between them. They are truly icons if London and Broadway!

[@kellyjohnson6889]

Gave me chills!!!!🥰😍

[@hummingbyrde]

I have so much respect for Simon Bowman for his professionalism towards Lea Salonga…She was barely 18 when they started in Miss Saigon together. He was 28. And she said it herself that he was just very patient and helpful with her. Many years later and that story never changed!

[@peterpiper5300]

i think lea had never had a boyfriend when she did miss Saigon.

[@63eradventures93]

Marvelous!❤❤❤

[@red_ashcroft]

It's like they have finally met after a very long time yearning for each other since their time in Saigon.

[@catherinekim5287]

Is it just me or is the acting in this one concert version of this broadway song better than 99% of the acting I see now on tv?….

[@maygrantz4426]

IT IS 4:57 PM LEA SALONGA AND SIMON BOWMAN THE PERFECT MATCH OF MISS SAIGON. I CAN'T GET ENOUGH THIS BEAUTIFUL CAPTION AFTER 25 YEARS.

[@redtumomm3210]

Simon Bowman will always be Leah's first love.

[@maureenlaneski2802]

Wow. His voice is incredible. I already knew hers was ❤❤❤

[@catherinemirano2331]

No one can beat the original Chris and Kim of Miss Saigon.

[@smithy2734]

Only Lea and Simon can sing this beautiful song, one of my favorite songs from Miss Saigon.

[@alexanderbenjamin1522]

hello, how you there my dear 🤗 I hope you're okay, and everyone around you, too?

[@melengracetumaneng8114]

Who's with me crying while watching this 2020 😭 walang ka.kupas2x mag perform. The spark is still there 😍 kilig 😍 #Lea&Simon❤

[@alembess9129]

Simon Bowman is still the man!

[@jelisof]

2021 and yet I’m still wishing that Lea had ended up with Simon!

[@getreal8348]

This is EPIC! Kim and Chris found each other again after 25 years! Their voices blending with such power and tenderness.

[@sunildaniel1838]

Not going to lie; that was very special

[@lengtorres7658]

Goosebump, hindi naman ito drama pero umiiyak ako s kilig s kanila 2.

[@susanademo6405]

I love the way he sings “I’m from a WORLD THAT’S so different....” those two words sound so gentle. Just as good as when he sang it many years ago...sigh

[@juneibanez8061]

Simon is more appealing to me now than when he was younger. Super romantic❤️❤️❤️ kiliiiiig to d bones😍😍😍

[@Dean814]

My gosh, I'm crying and smiling at the same time. Knowing how their characters' love story ends makes this reunion so bittersweet.

[@patriciafayebolanos6821]

Me too. So sad....

[@felyfrancisco7026]

I could not count anymore how many times I watched Lea Salonga and Chris Bowman duet especially '"The Last Night of the World". What a PERFECT BLEND OF BEAUTIFUL VOICES. I AM SO IN 😍 LOVE OF THEIR TEAMWORK

[@roenabince3471]

Me too

[@anonview]

This was a Chemistry test, both Simon and Lea would get 100/100 each, plus bonus points! The audience can't get enough of their performance! ❤️

[@olgaeledanicolas4227]

OMG....was crying while watching.... taking me back into another world.

[@8831prettylass]

Me too.

[@gemmuffin57]

Im crying tooo for 8 minutes straight😢😢😢😢😢

[@miree8854]

You got isekai'd😂😂🤣🤣joke me too

[@naomibinas3239]

im convinced that simon's lea's first love

[@precyasuncion2684]

Probably. She said, there’s a part in her heart that belongs to him until now. They look good together. Thing was, Leah was very young then, only 17.

[@wynddelle7069]

and first kiss

[@kan4739]

キムとクリスが今ここにいる。ふたりが運命に引き裂かれなければ、こんな姿が見られたのかもしれないと思うと、涙が溢れます。この愛に満ちた歌声と表情❤再会おめでとう。そしてありがとうございます。

[@keithyolamendoza2645]

Finally Kim and Chris reunited ❤❤

[@microcosmic]

Kakaiyak iniimagine ko na buhay pa si Kim, tapos eto yung tumanda na sila hayy

[@roywatling3856]

I have lost count how many times i have watched, it lifts me and make me cry, the power of the song and of Lea and Simon when they sing together

[@mizconti]

Same. Probably about 100 at this point.

[@beverlyhill9947]

SO MUCH PASSION IN THEIR VOICES AND IN THEIR SPIRITS AND HEARTS TOWARDS EACH OTHER. THEY SHARED A VERY SPECIAL AND RARE RELATIONSHIP...SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL AND BREATHTAKING!~~BEV~~

[@aceballeza3804]

Imagine ung kilig mo if sa play ka talaga nila nanonood and when they were in their younger years with power belting wew... kilig saka in awe.. dito nga they still can take our breath away panu pa nung kabataan nila just wow 🥰😘

[@DragonNestMP]

Nakakaiyak pag si Lea kumanta video pa nga to ano na kaya pag nandoon ako para akong namatayan. HUHUHU galing mo Lea ♥

[@flordelizanicolas9472]

Still gives me goosebumps after all these years! I still have my casette tapes!! ❤

[@inggitpikit3599]

My sister too got cassette tapes and over and over we listen to it… but I’m sure it’s gone now (washed away by multiple floods in the province) if the lives my sister and I have now is as of way back then, we could have gone to London or Broadway to watch it…

[@destiny_017]

he is lea's first kiss✌️

[@patriciafayebolanos6821]

I watched this 10 times a day. I wish I could see their performance live.from now on I will save money in preparation for their upcoming concert hopefully it will happen in the Philippines. So covid go away.... Love lea n Simon. Till life after death....

[@yolindabengco9756]

If in the Philippines, I’ll prep for my trip, so timeless!

[@marializaregalado6747]

You can still feel and see the tenderness that was there so many years ago

[@lesmizyeah]

Lea - still the unbeatable Kim! And bravo, Simon! 👏

[@glassdoor3075]

The best love team Westend has ever produced!

[@mswhitelighter]

when you are smiling and crying both at the same time...my Kim and Chris forever

[@bethinaavila9772]

Why does it feel like they wanted to be together at some point but was scared to lose the friendship and to commit for a LDR. 😭

[@MiszKathleen16]

"sun and Moon" then "Last night of the world".. My 2 favorite songs in Miss Saigon.. Ms. Lea Salonga is truly a gem! She is like the MULAN of the Philippines because she brings honor to us all.. PS. I am literally crying while watching..

[@manchestertart5614]

It must be painful to remember that Simon Bowman was part of the successful Miss Saigon.

[@ergieandaya8282]

I get teary eyed watching this.

[@calycabarios6841]

Couldn't hold my screams when Simon started singing! Saigon love!

[@janeacusar]

Bakit ako naiyak? Aaah kasi walang nagbago, yung boses and chemistry nandyan pa rin. Grabe nakakakilig at tindig balahibo. Ang charming n9 Mr. Bowman. Grabe yung professionalism na sa isa't isa. Kung ako sguro nahuhulog n ako kay Mr. Bowman dahil sa boses pa lang grabe na, tapos ang gwapo pa.

[@julietaaspiras6896]

The misician beside them was sooooo starstrucked..

[@guidofaria6721]

This brings tears to my eyes. I was also a young boy when I saw them in the Miss Saigon London production. Amazing how we get old and never think of that when we are young.

[@mariekadlecova333]

OMG this is amazing! Lea still looks 18 when she smiles at him! So beautiful!

[@captcooper5159]

It is shattering to see how our bodies age, yet encouraging that our voice remains the same and that the singing even improves over time. Lea and Simon: saw you on Broadway in 1998 and you remain my favorite musical couple!

[@jeanettesellwood9762]

The magic of this show will stay with me forever.First saw it at Drury Lane in April 1990,, with the full original cast. The Dreamcast.💗💖💞

[@cieloV0613]

How lucky 🥺

[@robithefinancialcoach]

Nothing has changed. They still have that connection and powerful voices. It brings back memories! 😊

[@apolpapol]

The best Kim and Chris ever ❤️

[@bhienasagac6351]

It's 2021 and I'm 34 yrs old. Crying and smiling at the same time while watching this video. Closing your eyes and listening to them singing brings you back to the time when they were onstage. So nostalgic and endearing.. Can we have this again?

[@mizconti]

Right? 2022 here. Where are voices like this these days. Takes me to an otherworldly place. They are perfection.

[@RT-xj7el]

Still a believable couple! No one more talented.

[@evelynalmocera7291]

Kim and chris i just cant hold my tears flowing watching the tenderness that still exists

[@yolindabengco9756]

Please have something like this after this pandemic.. Let’s treat ourselves ..

[@teresaibay8850]

Super kilig me sa super galing of Lea and Simon .I salute you both !

[@marinettedelacruz7542]

Think im inlove again... ❤️💕Never get enough of Kim & Chris!

[@abril_3098]

Omg..wish mapanuod ko si Miss Lea in one of her US/ UK concert..ikaw ang aking favorite singer..

[@MARYAMMORALES-cf2dr]

i felt love the entire moment of their performance. you will feel indeed that everything is magical.

[@DC-sj9wr]

They still have it. So beautiful the two.

[@BelBernadz]

Yng manonood ka na kinilig pati dulo ng daliri mo sa paa dahil sa sobrang kilig hahaha😅omg kinikilig ako dito lalo na yng performanced nila noon sana all😍❤

[@pretty8983]

Walang kupas ang galing padin nila ILOVEYOU MS.LEA SALONGA💕💕💕💕💋💋❤❤❤

[@janeacusar]

I wonder if there was a time they started to have a feelings for each other but kept it to themselves to respect each other, especially that one of them was in a relationship and Leah was very young

[@elisalarosa8642]

Omg kinikilig ako sa kanilang dalawa😍

[@gabbargado6242]

Thank God I'm able to enjoy Magnificent voices of his generation. 💕

[@TheAmbitiousPeasant]

OMG! He's still dashing and their voices like fine wine have only gotten better with age!

[@scottsacala]

Aww... I love how she held the mic up for him at the bridge. This is one of my favorite songs of all time!

[@retricadeleon9238]

Feeling lucky I’ve seen them live for 2nd time

[@berlheyrosa]

Literally cried in minute 3:28 😭💖 I may not be the biggest Lea fan but I have been watching old videos of her back in the Original Miss Saigon, from auditions to the present, and seeing her reunited with Mr. Bowman at their prime age singing the songs that connected their lives together at the age of 18 and 28 is truly a heart-melting sight 😭 the stage chemistry of these two is undeniable and their voices combined is just breathtaking ♥️ Will forever love these two icons!

[@barbarasmith2838]

3.48 too when he touches her face - so tender, 💕💕💕 and the audience (well, the females!) were SWOONING by the sound of the reaction!

[@RichPlayz.]

Ah, you're not alone. And I will always cry especially over at the last scene.

[@noreniatuguinay888]

2:11AM... Still here just because of ms Lea. Gee, kinikilig ako... Mweset!! 😍😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘

[@jojilynbautista1863]

Gosh...i never get tired watching this daily ...kilig to the bones..

[@strellmar8460]

This is a silent true love that has been kept just from within them.❤

[@mariavenusjunio2323]

I can watch this forever and always be moved and emotional! My eternal crush Simon Bowman!!!!

[@noreenvergaralegaspi6005]

the musician beside them must have been mesmerized by all the nostalgia, the fans' uncontrollable swoon over Simon and Lea's chemistry, the look of love and longing the two performers show while interpreting the song. too much for one heart :)

[@ThatWouldBeCareless]

One of my favourite things about watching Lea perform is that sometimes you can see that she knows she's in a magical moment. This whole performance is like that, but especially around 5:55, where he's really going for the excitement and joy and she's just like YESSSS. I love it so much.

[@dinaashford-more1172]

Wow 😮 THEIR VOICES ARE STILL BEAUTIFUL! Like fine wine! Just absolutely gorgeous and magnificent!

[@nads448]

The only Kim and Chris as far as I’m concerned. Watched this after watching the doc of Making of Miss Saigon

[@palawanish830]

This song has never been better when she sings it with Simon!

[@multicoloredvirgo8685]

We have been blessed by your love story. Chris ❤️ Kim

[@benjamindomingo370]

Goosebumps all over my body. What a performance!! They own those songs and nobody can do justice to those songs other than the two of them. You will literally cry because of the beauty of the songs and how they performed it.

[@dogseye_007]

Mr. Bowman still got it! and ms Lea of course😍

[@ageebs5986]

I would pay to watch the entire original cast do Ms. Saigon again on Broadway.

[@ruthbeech9038]

I can't help to shed tears watching them...! Their voice is perfect...!

[@andriabitara1731]

Fantastic duo

[@dorrysarmiento9229]

So addictive watching you two on stage,amazing voices, someone has to plan for Mr simon to have a concert in the Philippines..

[@bettytake8766]

I love watchng this video everynight, very romantic and lovely.

[@sakurawrcho9864]

Let's all pretend that kim never died and that they found each other and end up together after decades

[@winterkai12]

After watching Miss Saigon Act 1 and 2, how I badly hope they were real couple in the end for real.

[@winterkai12]

@@gethbnsy1233 thank you for pointing that out, I stand corrected. I mistook Willy there as Simon Bowman. I forgot there's no complete video for the West End original casts on YT, only the one on Broadway with Willy as Chris.

[@arcadejeff8115]

I’m suddenly transported back down memory lane hearing these 2 songs that has been a huge part of my teenage years, I share the same age as Lea and when she got picked as Miss Saigon was truly epic in that era. She was an inspiration for my life’s journey

Amazing show on Broadway back in the day's..
