I'd kill to have seen her in Saigon.

I'm reminded of why I love her so much. She always puts so much into her songs, and her acting (especially facial expressions) just always blows me away.

Oh man. (That's a good "oh man.")

And she still looks like she's 20!

Watching them rehearse in their street clothes

but I had a hard time taking Norm's Javert seriously in a DKNY sweatshirt. :)

Though not a big fan of the show by any means, Salonga makes it worth seeing. She is wonderful!

I would give anything to get to NYC and see her in this. She is one of my heroes. She still sounds amazing.

Wow!!! She sounds great, but what really makes me want to see this is how passionate her face is.

Norm Lewis and Alexander Gemignani are better in the rehearsal video than they were in the show when I saw it. The ensemble is still great. I'm hoping that this means Lea's energy has given off a positive vibe to the other principles. I know I'll be visiting tkts soon to see this show again. I love Lea (had the privilege of seeing her close Miss Saigon) and hopefully by then the principles will have improved since I last saw it.

Seeing this video reminded me why I love Les Mis so much.

it has been my first musical-love, and i kinda put it aside, and the songs became too familiar to me, there was nothing new in any production i heard. but Salonga's performance really reminds why and how, this is a great musical, written to perfection (for its genre) and a top-notch score, made greater by great performers.

She is so wonderful. I cant wait to see her as Fantine. I think its going to be weird for the other actors hearing a nromal voice coming out of Fantine. Haha Oh Daphne. But anyway, Lea is amazing!!

she could totally still play Eponine. she still looks so young. I don't understand why she's playing Fantine...

I've never been the biggest fan of Ms. Salonga, but I will say that she looks and sounds wonderful. I hope to see her very soon.

She looks grogeous. My trip to NY will probably not include Les Mis, but I may possibly go again in the summer, so I hope to include it for that trip.
