Lea Salonga is going back on tour! The singer, actress and Tony-winning Broadway icon has announced the Lea Salonga: The Human Heart Tour. Check out a full list of tour dates below!

Salonga recently wrapped her role as 'Erzulie,' the goddess of love, in the Broadway revival of Once On This Island, which won the 2018 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical. Following the show's wildly successful run, she then traveled to Los Angeles for a brief three-night engagement as 'Grace Farrell' in Annie, alongside an all-star cast at the famed concert venue, The Hollywood Bowl.

The Disney legend who is known for her roles as the singing voices for Princess Jasmine in Aladdin and Fa Mulan in Mulan and Mulan II and is a judge on the Philippines hit version of "The Voice" has sold a staggering 19 million albums worldwide to date making her one of the best-selling Filipina artists of all time. She has performed for the likes of Diana, Princess of Wales, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. Salonga boasts numerous accolades such as an Olivier, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and Theatre World Award amongst others.

In 2017, Salonga released her electrifying live album "Blurred Lines" which preceded a sold-out run at New York's renowned Feinstein's / 54Below. The six-date showcase was received with overwhelming accolades from fans and critics alike where she returned to the famed venue for a record-setting 15-show encore performance that wrapped up her last North American tour.

At age 18, she create the lead role of Kim in the musical Miss Saigon, first in the West End and then on Broadway - for which she won the Olivier and the Tony Award. She followed that as the first actress of Asian descent to play the roles of Eponine and Fantine in the musical Les Misérables on Broadway. She also portrayed Eponine and Fantine in the musical's 10th and 25th anniversary concerts in London (both of which aired on PBS). She provided the singing voices of two official Disney Princesses: Jasmine in Aladdin (1992) and Fa Mulan in Mulan (1998). She was named a Disney Legend in 2011 for her work with The Walt Disney Company.

Salonga starred as Mei-li in the 2002 Broadway version of Flower Drum Song, and also appeared on Broadway in Allegiance, and the revival of Once on This Island.
