From Small Voice To World Stage

FROM SMALL VOICE TO WORLD STAGE
-ryandgreat,

the world is her stage!

it's been the life and the journey of lea salonga in the last 35 years of her career

from small voice to the world stage and now she's the voice of the philippines!

we're all familiar to her success story! she first appeared in a musical play at the age of 7

and a recording artist at the age of 9,

and one of the teen idols of that's entertainment! 

and later on she has represented our country so well in her appearances

on the west end and broadway stage and to walt disney and more

and it's indeed a great accomplishment all these years!

and last night we're there to celebrate her 35th year! and to be seated five rows away from the stage was such a delight!

we've seen some good prens and many familiar faces in the crowd,

i saw my boss, sir dj sta.ana and his wife and lawyn cruz, a good pren of mine from eat... bulaga!

December 7 | we're present at Playlist concert
@ryandgreat
December 7 | with Ellawyn Cruz!
@ryandgreat
December 7 | with sir Gerard Salonga
the first part of the show consists of songs of familiar songs girl on fire, do you know where you're going to, the climb, beautiful and blurred line

and then a performance with mitoy yonting of some opm love classics, coming from their recent victory at the voice of the philippines

where they emerge as the grand champ!

and a performance with rachelle ann go, she's the recent west end recruit

she will play a supporting role for miss saigon and they sang some miss saigon as gigi and kim respectively

other notable song numbers that followed were chasing pavements, evergreen the morning after, love will keep us alive

and some throwback of the 70's and 80's, whitney houston and donna summer medley

and then ogie alcasid appeared as surprise guest!

and we're all laughing, they reprise bonggahan, a song number that they did 10 years ago during songs from home concert

there were more encore numbers that night, we first dance along with lea while singing abba medley

@ryandgreat

and the best part of the night was the kilig moments when aga muhlach came up on stage while lea is singing sana maulit muli

the theme song and the title of their 1995 hit movie!  

and the finale number is very appropriate, the mash-up of i'll be home for christmas and jingle bells!

as always, we truly enjoyed the show!

congratulations to playlist, to miss lea salonga and mr. gerard salonga and the entire production staff we hope to see this on tv or a dvd release soon!
