Review: Tony Award Winner Lea Salonga Makes Glorious Return to Segerstrom Center
by Michael Quintos - Oct 7, 2025

Blessed with undeniable vocal talents and an endearingly charming persona, Tony and Olivier Award winner and Disney Legend Lea Salonga recently returned to Costa Mesa's Segerstrom Center for the Arts for the one-night-only Orange County stop of the North American leg of her brand-new, perfectly-curated concert tour 'Stage, Screen, and Everything in Between' to a sold-out crowd that included a mix of rabid superfans, Broadway/musical theater enthusiasts, and, yes, lots of proud fellow Filipinos. Accompanied by a rousing, multi-piece band led by musical director Larry Yurman and a couple of excellent background vocalists (who were showcased in duets with her on a few songs), the concert was, to no one's surprise, an exquisite showcase of Salonga's enduring artistry, stage presence, global appeal, and, of course, incredible talents.
