Such a talent. A damn near perfect voice.

Thanks for directing our attention to this.

I HATE Cats but - if I lived in the Philippines - Lea Salonga's presence in it would be almost enough to make me go.

"It'll be interesting to play someone that once shone, and no longer does."

Somebody wants to play Norma Desmond! ^^

...How awesome would that be?

I can't wait to see her in Les Mis

ClapYo'Hands, she was clearly referring to her character of "Grizabella" in "Cats" who once was considered a glamour cat but whose best days are behind her and is preparing for her ultimate journey to the heavyside layer.

Or as the article puts it:

Grizabella, a former Glamour Cat, has lost her clout and sparkle, and now only seeks to be accepted by the "Jellicle Cats" society, whose members are anxiously waiting to be reborn into a new life. Updated On: 7/2/10 at 11:28 AM

Is the show now called "Cat's Now and Forever"?

CarlosAlberto, I know...

There is something to be said for the mirroring of Norma Desmond and Grizabella...she could almost sing "With One Look"

uncageg:
"now and forever" is the tagline. Like when RENT had "rent live" or "rent now"
Or Phantoms "You never forget your first time" or whatever the hell it is.

I love Lea, and she has a perfect voice. Cant wait to see *whispers* videos of it
