“This is Lea’s Austin premiere and the “Inspired” North American 2009 Tour is much anticipated by her fans and followers. Double Diamonds Entertainment is proud to present her in the capital city’s historic Paramount Theatre,” says producer Gigi Nicolau-Hobson.
Salonga has been singing since the age of ten when she made her theatrical debut in The King and I, and has gone on to release three studio albums. She began an illustrious career in Broadway musicals when she was cast to play Kim in Miss Saigon after a world-wide talent search. Additional credits Include Les Miserables, My Fair Lady, Grease, The Sound of Music and Annie, among many others.
Last year, Lea was presented the Order of Lakandula, rank of Kumandante (Commander), by the President of the Philippines. This is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a Filipino civilian.
In the field of musical theater, she is recognized for having won the Olivier, Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics, and Theatre World Awards, and the first to win various international awards for a single role. She was also the first Asian to play Eponine in the musical Les Misérables on Broadway. For more information, visit www.leasalonga.com.
