Did You Know...


...that Lea Salonga had three first Chrises? In fact, Lea starred in Miss Saigon three times. The first one being on London's West End opposite Simon Bowman as Chris in 1989; however, they did not reunite on stage until the 25th Anniversary of the musical. The second first was on Broadway during the 90s with Willy Falk as Chris; unfortunately, the Broadway stage of Miss Saigon did not release a cast recording due to the lack of interest of the American public at that time. And finally, in 2000 in Manila with Will Chase as Chris. To Lea, the Manila production of Miss Saigon was a homecoming production for her.
