"I can't wait to hit the road and perform all across the US next spring. We'll be doing a mix of shows - some with my incredibly talented band, some more intimate performances with just me and a piano and a few with symphony orchestras. There will be an array of Broadway, Disney, pop...you name it! I'm looking forward to putting together a really fun set list for these performances. And to be able to follow the tour with a long stay in NYC and a record-breaking run at 54 Below is a dream!"

Salonga's upcoming engagements at Feinstein's 54 Below will be the longest run of a single act in the venue's history.
