I would literally give my left kidney to go back in time to see the original London cast.

Kaya sa mga bashers ni Lea na sinasabing “mayabang” sya, abutin nyo muna ang naabot niya, bago kayo mangutya. Dahil TALAGANG may IPAGMAMALAKI siya. Hate her if you want. But the LADY has PURE TALENT that you don’t have.

2021 who's with me? I'm literally crying while listening to all of her songs. The real Chris and Kim 😭

[anamorphosys]

After the song, Lea talks about the beginning of Miss Saigon and explains how frightening it felt for her when she was about to rehearse the love scenes with Simon, having had no experience with a boyfriend, let alone love before. Simon could see the anxiety in Lea, so he took her and her mum aside and told them: "You can trust me. I will take care of you. Don't worry, I will not take advantage of you." With the pressure of the leading role in a world premiere musical and the entire nation watching her, as well as in light of MeToo, this obviously means so much to Lea and she'll be forever grateful to Simon that he kept his promise. You can see clearly how deep their bond goes. Great respect for Simon Bowman!

I love it when Simon first starts singing and there's an awe in the audience at the gentleness of his voice

[Cherrybeck]

The original Kim. Sorry ladies Lea Salonga is a legend. 🙌🏼

[farahmohamed]

[rowji]

[Lala]

Why am I crying? 😭😭😭
It feels like a long lost love.
They are both beautiful💕
Anyone in 2021?

[cureangelz]

i'm crying because they still got it and my zoom meeting is in 10 mins.

[magaliespinosa]

30 years later and they still act like they were in the play when they sang.. same facial reactions...

[KirigKeg]

In an alternate universe, Kim and Chris ended up together and lived happily ever after.

[irishmaejones]

They weren't even kissing but it still felt very intimate! Never fails to make me feel like I'm thirdwheeling! Every time they're on stage, their chemistry just gets stronger!

[jenniferbooth]

2024 anyone??? Still one of my favorite Broadway musicals of all time!!!!

[snowwwwwhite]

3:21 the way they hug each other and then freakin slow dance after, like they finally found each other for a long time MY HEART MELTS!! i love them so much

[scotrule]

It’s amazing, how the lyrics of those songs actually mean something to them, all these years later as in actual context of their friendship. You can tell they have and had great respect and love for each other... . .

[jasminentero]

"we'll meet in the sky" shit always gets me😭✊ day 24 of quarantine and jwu. Who else here have the 4am-1pm sleeping routine?

[incahomes]

It really feels like that there is a plot twist sa musical. Kim is alive and ended up with Chris and lived happily ever after. Gosh!

[drifterdc]

I had my own Sun and Moon moment in Vietnam during the war. This brings tears to my eyes and deep memories of a time and place so far away.

Lea Salonga is the only Singer and artist that i could forever love and looked up to. She’s one of the greatest gift that the Philippines could ever have, a living legend, incomparable and a world’s treasure.
This is my first ever comment in youtube and not interested to anyone at all. She got my utmost respect regardless of whatever negativities that others would say, she’s out of this world and literally no one could be like her. LEA IS LEA, the one and only ❤️ Please MS Lea don’t age too fast, we still need that angelic voice and YOU, an angel, a rare gift that the world could ever have.
