Lea Salonga on belters and having a ‘different’ voice

With her immense success, both on local and global stages, Lea Salonga is always the first name that comes to mind when talking about theater in the country.

From playing Annie at nine, landing the original role of Miss Saigon’s Kim when she was just 18-years-old; to winning the Tony, Laurence Olivier and Drama Desk awards among many others, Salonga is both a Philippine pride and international star.
