Lea Salonga sounds swell, she sounds great in what is apparently an excerpt from a BBC podcast plugging ''Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends'' in London.

SHE SOUNDS THRILLING. Is there anything this woman doesn't excel at?!?

If I didn't have such CONFIDENCE in her vocal training and technique, that sound would scare me -- I've never heard her lean into her lower register and belt that heavily. Her Kim was instantly legendary, of course, because she really kind of popularized that super bright / mixy high belt that transitioned so well into her gorgeous soprano.

Seeing her within the intimate Circle in the Square for the revival of ONCE ON THIS ISLAND just showed how astonishing this woman's instrument is. When she's singing mere feet away and every resonance is just PINGING... just an absolute wow. I'm such a fan.

I'd pay GOOD MONEY to see & hear her play Mama Rose.

As much of a fan of Lea's that I am, she surprised me with this one. So unexpected and such a perfect delight. Thanks for posting.

Wow! She sounds fantastic, it suits her voice so well.

Gypsy has played in every decade since it premiered in 1959, except the 2010s. (If Patti had just waited a year, it would be an unbroken streak!) I wonder if we'll get a revival in the 20s.
