Lea Salonga Comments on Hairspray Manila
Lea Salonga, recipient of the Tony and Laurence Olivier awards for her Ms. Saigon performances on Broadway and West End, watched the Atlantis production of Hairspray on its last day on 07 December 2008 at Star Theater, which is beside the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
Accompanying the theater veteran is daughter Nicole, who gleefully smiled for the camera. It seems that Lea Salonga fulfilled one item in her to do list while here in the Philippines in between engagements of the Asian tour of Cinderella by Rodgers and Hammerstein, i.e. “watch a couple of musicals with my daughter.”
On Hairspray Manila, Lea Salonga had this to say, “We really had the best time. It was a really wonderful show.”
The visit also allowed the Ms. Saigon star to catch up with some of her “favorite people” such as Hairspray Manila director Bobby Garcia, Spring Awakening director Chari Arespacochaga and Avenue Q actor Felix Rivera.
