Musical theatre royalty and official Disney legend, Lea Salonga is bringing her extraordinary talent back to the UK with new tour Stage, Screen & Everything in Between - and it’s coming to Wolverhampton.

Lea will launch the tour with her first return to the Theatre Royal Drury Lane – the iconic venue where she made her name as the original Miss Saigon 35 years ago – having previewed her spine-tingling vocals at Wolverhampton Grand Theatre on Friday 21 June.

In Stage, Screen & Everything in Between, musical theatre fans will experience stage and screen classics from Lea’s best known roles in Miss Saigon, Les Misérables, Aladdin and Mulan, new-found favourites from the critically acclaimed West End hit Old Friends and much more from her celebrated career.

Lea Salonga was just 17 when she was discovered by the producers of Miss Saigon in her native Philippines to be cast in the lead role of Kim. She originated the role in London and New York, winning the Olivier and Tony Awards for best actress in a musical. She returned to the West End in 2014 as part of the 25th anniversary celebrations for Miss Saigon at the Prince Edward Theatre.

Lea is also famed for her portrayal of both Eponine and Fantine in Les Misérables on Broadway – the first actress of Asian descent to play the roles. She also appeared in the musical’s 10th and 25th anniversary concerts in London.

Her 2022 Dream Again Tour and 2019 The Human Heart Tour saw sold-out audiences and record-breaking sales across North America and the UK. In 2023, Lea returned to the West End to wow audiences heading the cast of Old Friends alongside Broadway icon Bernadette Peters, in paying tribute to the late, great composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim. She returned to Broadway in the summer, to appear in and co-produce Here Lies Love - Fatboy Slim and David Byrne’s biographical musical based on the life of Imelda Marcos.

On screen, Lea’s pitch perfect tones are featured as the singing voices of two Disney Princesses – the only person to have ever done this. As Princess Jasmine in Aladdin, Lea recorded the iconic Oscar, GRAMMY and Golden Globe-winning Disney love song A Whole New World, followed by her performance as Fa Mulan in Mulan and Mulan II, roles which earned her the official title of Disney Legend.

Away from the stage, Lea starred in the 2022 HBO series Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, has been a judge on the Philippines’ version of The Voice and has sold a staggering 19 million albums worldwide – making her one of the best-selling Filipina artists of all time.
