During the original run of Les Miserables, Salonga performed the role of Eponine (she can be seen in that role on the 10th anniversary concert video).  The performer was last seen on Broadway as Fantine in the 2007 revival of Les Miserables. She also starred in the 2002 revival of Flower Drum Song, won the Tony Award, among other honors, for her Broadway debut in Miss Saigon.  To non-theatregoers, she is best known for providing the singing voices to two Disney heroines--Jasmine in Aladdin and Mulan.  A performer since childhood, she has been seen in numerous shows in the Phillipines.  She has also released numerous solo albums; "Inspired," on the Sony BMG label, will be her latest.
