Lea Salonga returns with dazzling new tour STAGE, SCREEN & EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN
Musical theatre royalty and official Disney legend, Lea Salonga will bring her extraordinary talent back to the UK with new tour Stage, Screen & Everything In Between in summer 2024.
Following a preview show at Wolverhampton Grand on 21 June, Lea will officially launch the tour with her first return to London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane on 24 June, ahead of taking her spine-tingling vocals to Cardiff, Bristol, Nottingham, Gateshead, Edinburgh, and Manchester.
This will be the first time Lea has performed at the legendary West End theatre since creating the role of Kim in Miss Saigon in 1989. The role catapulted her international career and sealed her place in musical theatre history, with both Olivier and Tony Award wins.
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.
Announcing Stage, Screen & Everything In Between Lea Salonga said: “I have so much love for UK audiences, so I am thrilled to be able to share some of the many wonderful songs I have sung throughout my career with fans once more – as well as some treats from ‘in between’ too.
“Returning to the Theatre Royal Drury Lane after all this time is a dream come true. It’s an iconic venue, that holds such special personal memories – I cannot wait.
“I will always be grateful for Miss Saigon and the way that show changed my life – so to celebrate it once more, back in that beautiful and historic theatre will be incredibly special… But where have 35 years gone?”
Stage, Screen & Everything In Between will be Lea’s third UK concert tour presented by Live Nation promoters Cuffe and Taylor with critics hailing her vocals as ‘spine-tingling’ and ‘simply stunning’.
Tickets go on sale at 10am on 8 December here.
