That would be cool... but I live on the other side of the coast! I hope I can see Lea Salonga soon though.

She does have a lot of shows in the west coast. One this weekend in Valley Center north of San Diego, and another one in June in San Diego. I think there's one in Cache Creek as well. If you can watch Cinderella during its Asian tour, go for it. They announced a cast CD of this production soon and a US mounting next year. Lea hasn't confirmed if she will do the US staging.

I'm glad her shows are doing quite well. The concert today at Harrah's is sold out. Next one is at Sycuan in June.

antonijan - I didn't see the concert at Cache Creek but saw the one at Harrah's Rincon Casino. I heard from a friend that it was quite similar in format. She was accompanied by a 5-member band. The Disney Concert Hall on July 11th will have strings.

The sold out Rincon concert was simply delightful. Lea glittered on stage like a shining star and her voice was flawless. She performed famous familiar Broadway and jazz songs beautifully. One thing I like about Lea is how she goes into character in each of her song. The concert was quite short (casino rules). Regardless, she impressed the audience and deservingly received a roaring ovation.

Repertoire:
Prologue - Something's Coming (West Side Story)
Our Love is Here to Stay (Gershwin - The Goldwyn Follies)
I Still Believe In Love (They're Playing Our Song)
I Don't Know How To Love Him (Jesus Christ Superstar)
Someone To Watch Over Me (Gershwin - Oh, Kay!)
Reflection (Disney's Mulan)
A Whole New World (snippet) (Disney's Aladdin)
Hahanapin Ko (Original Filipino song)
Orange-Colored Sky (Milton DeLugg and Willie Stein)
On My Own (Les Miserables)
You Must Love Me (Evita)
Taylor, the Latte Boy (Marcy Heisler & Zina Goldrich)
Promise Me
I'd Give My Life For You (Miss Saigon)
Epilogue - Imagine (John Lennon)
Encore - Tomorrow (Annie)
