Journaling: When I was a girl I was mesmerized by Miss Saigon and Lea Salonga, the original Kim, the star of the show. She also played Eponine in Les Misérables, my other favorite musical and character. When she came to New York to perform at Feinstein’s / 54 Below in the Theater District, I knew I couldn’t miss it. I went with my coworker and friend Iris, who is also Filipina. It was an amazing night, and Lea sung all her hits, including her famous roles as the singing voice of Jasmine and Mulan.
