My time of rest in Manila is over... time for me to head back on
tour. May I say, with utmost happiness, that I can't wait to return!
It's always bittersweet every time I leave home though... my daughter
will remain here, as will my husband, mother, brother, and dear, dear
friends. However, I do have another home with my family on tour, and
am looking forward to seeing them and working with them again.
It's funny... it's a rare and beautiful thing when you have a cast
that just gels together in a great way, both on stage and off. That
camaraderie does translate and is obvious in performance. I am very,
very transparent, and when I don't like someone, it's painfully
obvious. Not fun at all.
So... here's to more late night poker games (in the name of Aaron
Galligan-Stierle)... more leg pain from those blasted heels and
stairs... to the hunt for a Starbucks that's actually walking distance
from the hotel and/or theater... to more culinary and gustatory
adventures... to doing a show with people I have the pleasure and
honor of calling my friends.
Here's to more fun! I have only 6 months left on this Asian tour...
if you think about it, it's really not a very long time. Yeehaaaaaaah!

I hope you stay longer on your next visit here. I miss hangin' out with you. Let's plan something the next time you are here. Maybe you can come over for lunch and Nicole and Sofia can play again. :-)

Aloha, Lea! Is Rob going to join you in China this month? I'm really enjoying your articles. You've blossomed into a perceptive and exuberant writer! My favorite was the food article (sayang, no pictures) --- especially hearing your Mom read parts of it to me on the phone with Nicole in the background. Also proud of the causes you support. Take care, stay healthy and love to you and Shiela (is it one L or double L?)!
continue to shine, manang :-)
have a safe trip, manang! and i hope you had fun with last night's deal or no deal (and meeting the rest of the AFLS after).. will definitely wait for it to air on TV anytime soon! break a leg on the last 6 months of Cinderella! (=

wo0o0oho00o..!!!:-)
Have fun with ur cinderella tour and enjoy every night of your performances..never mind the hundred turn you have to make...;-)
Good day, Miss Lea! I was hoping that I can watch you perform for the first time here in Thailand but unfortunately I missed it. Somebody told me its done already. It's really my dream to see you in person and watch your concert or seeing you play in Cinderella but i was so disappointed to hear that it's finished already. The truth is, why there's no announcement telling you that when are you going to perform here. I was so unlucky!!! My fiance and I are planning to watch your play. So, I feel very sorry about it. When are you going to have a concert here in Thailand? I hope you're going to have one. I always read your column in PDI. And I love all stories that you'd written. More power to you!!! I hope that I can have a reply from you. Thanks a lot! God bless you and your family!!!
enjoy the rest of the tour! hope you guys do come back to manila, like peter said (saide said, haha). =) looking forward to your deal or no deal ep. kasi naman, we totally missed the taping, hahaha. oh well... oh, i thought you'd be taking nicole with you while on tour? lol about toff's starbucks and melamine comment -- but oo nga, take care, lea!
oh tin sorry.. it was the first time you'd watch ABS taping pa naman and you totally missed it.. i really had no idea that they're that strict now.
Your dream is not over yet. You can watch Lea Salonga in Cinderella from December 16-21, 2008. Visit http://www.rachadalai.com/cinderella/
I just wish you all the best! Take care Ms. Lea!
All the very best!! It's inspiring to know that you continue to brightly shine for Filipinos and non-Westerners alike who seldom get a chance to be on a level playing field in most professional fields.
I'm not sure whether you still remember me. We were in 'King and I' and 'Fiddler on the Roof' together in the 1970s. We also celebrated once our birthdays together (as our birthdays are only a few days apart). I think I last saw you in Ateneo (I have been in Australia for a while now).
Warmest regards to your mom (Tita Joy/Ligaya, if she still remembers me and my mom Nene).
Hazel Lim
hope you enjoy, ms lea!
always break a leg miss lea!

Miss Lea, will you by any chance be in the Philippines on December 12?
I just got my ticket for the September 2009 performance at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana. I never, ever thought I would have the chance to see you perform live. Well, "I dreamed a dream" and it's going to come true. I can't wait, I can't wait, I CAN'T WAIT for September to get here!!
Recently discovered your website and together with doifferent playlists on Youtube I'm a fan!!
