I had the opportunity to watch this musical in Belfast, the place where Titanic was built in 1911 - sailed to Northampton for her final voyage to New York. Unfortunately, she did not make it to reach the final destination in April 1912.
What really impressed me about this production is the number of cast playing on stage at one scene...very moving and I felt like I was there witnessing the fateful night of sorrow for those who were boarded the cruise.

A celebration for Pinoys - courtesy of Lea as Fantine (Les Mis)
Well, after giving birth to a baby girl two years ago, Lea (aka Miss Saigon) did perform in Broadway again, playing Fantine in Les Miserables production. She will explain why it is a celebration for her and her countrymen/women in the Philippines.

Im proud to be Pinoy (Filipino)
Filipino artists around the world are the priceless possessions of my home country, Philippines as my history books says as the Pearl of the Orient Sea! One of them is Lea Salonga. I had the chance to watch her in CCP for her portrayal as Kim for the long running musical, Miss Saigon. And then, I watched the musical again in 2006 when the UK production did their British tour in Northern Ireland. I was really proud because the main cast, including The Engineer, and the dancers were Filipino talents. Brilliant production from Cameron!
On the other hand, the clip is quite monumental for Lea as a young talented girl who did impress Cameron's team to cast her as Kim. She was innocent and confident which did make proud us Pinoys in the music industry around the world. She became an inspiration to young Filipinos nowadays of what she achieved and brought honor and fame to the Philippines. BRAVO LEA...
