Review: LEA SALONGA: STAGE, SCREEN, & EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN at The Music Center At Strathmore
by David Friscic - December 11, 2025
Before Lea Salonga stepped out on the stage of the Strathmore this past Saturday evening, I could feel the anticipation building. Soon, a very savvy orchestra assembled and lightly “tuned up” as the audience awaited the entrance of Lea Salonga, --stage, screen, recording and concert performer par excellence. Ms. Salonga finally appeared to loud applause in a beautifully tuxedoed -tailored, colorful pantsuit.

Guest Blog: Actor David Alwyn on Duty and The Feast: Why We Still Do Dickens at THE GREAT CHRISTMAS FEAST
by Guest Author - December 11, 2025
