Chinky Fuentes said...

Hi, lea! Hope you are doing fine in your preparation being Fantine.

This morning, I was playing your new cd. When your voice came out of the speaker, my 3-year-old niece shouted "It's the princess! It's the princess!!! Why is she singing a different song?" She recognized your voice :->

ruth gonzales said...

did you say 36? woooowwww..looks 26..besos!

jen shao and martin villalon said...

happy birthday, godbless =)

Jo ♫ said...

You were simply amazing and inspiring earlier, Lea!! :) Your voice is just... WOW! There are no words for it. By the way, was that you wearing a green coat/brown pants and newsboy cap in the barricade/battle scene? Those gunshots were scary and LOUD. Hahaha. I practically jumped off my seat every single time those damn things went off. And there were a lot of it!

Seriously though, my jaw dropped after seeing you, Ali and Adam in the finale with Victor Hawks. That scene was soooooo beautiful that I was fighting the urge to whip out my camera and take a picture of it. I was positively bursting with Filipino pride. :)

Even your Broadway.com rehearsal video is amazing!!

Belated happy birthday, Lea! And all the best to you and your family!

Mom Ne said...

Wow, dazzlingly beautiful! Happy birthday..

Myrna Bustamante said...

Hi, Lea! You don't know me, but I have been a fan since you were doing your TV show in the Philippines. I saw you perform once in Naga City and you were still very young. I was working as a radio announcer that time and was so upset I didn't get to interview you. Anyway, I was in the UK when you were doing Miss Saigon, and didn't get the chance to get tickets for your show. Now that I know you are playing in Broadway again, I am going to ask my husband (he's Jewish-American) to bring me and the kids to NY! Maybe I will try to hint about tickets to your show as a Mother's Day gift, huh? Good Luck, Lea! You are still gorgeous and I am happy to see you are happily married! Happy Easter!

marnie s said...

rochelle hua said...

hello there. i do not know if you read all of this??? BUT, i am one of your BIGGEST FAN! Took my husband to one of your show in LA -The Flower Drum Song and he loves ya din...Now i'm requesting that he take me to your show in NY this June =) for our 4th anniversary. God Bless.

Amy Howe said...

Mag ka edad kami ni Lea. Dalawang beses kong pinanuod ang Miss Saigon (sa pinakaharap pa!) just watch Lea up close. I have collections of her albums. My daughter's legal name is Mulan because I like her song Reflection. I made a video of my daughter growing up and the background are all Leah's songs.

It goes to tell you that a beer drinking woman is still a LADY!!! Go girl!

C. L. said...

"Jet to Ms. Lea, Mag-burping contest tayo, here's my first one...."

C. L. said...

How in the world did you pose sideways like that and make it look easy??? LOL!

C. L. said...

Ms. Lea, you are very a beautiful lady. I love the fact that you are a minimalist, (less make-up, less accessories.) You're simple and it shows, but your simplicity shines all the time, your smile is all you truly need. Rob, Nic and the Philippines are so lucky to have you!

C. L. said...

Hahahahah!!! Maybe you need to remind them that so it'll be different this year!

XXXX YYYY said...
