Lea Salonga Comes to Ridgefield Playhouse Next Month

Lea Salonga has thrilled audiences worldwide as a Disney princess - Jasmine (Aladdin) and Mulan (Mulan and Mulan II) in the Disney animated classics, and has toured in the title role of the enchanting rags-to-riches fairy tale Cinderella. On stage, she has starred on Broadway in Les Misérables and created the role of Kim in Miss Saigon - for which she won a Tony Award.

The Ridgefield Playhouse and Ridgefield Magazine Broadway and Cabaret Series presents the Lea Salonga in a magical concert of hits that you know and love on Sunday, April 2 at 8 p.m. Salonga has been praised around the world for her powerful voice and perfect pitch. In addition to winning a Tony, she has won the Olivier, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Theatre World Awards in the field of musical theatre.
