That same year Salonga performed the song “A Whole New World” at the Academy Awards, which was a song she sang in the Disney movie “Aladdin”. In 1993 Salonga returned to Broadway to play the role of Eponine in the musical “Les Miserables”. Her performance was critically lauded and earned her an Oliver, Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and the Theatre World Awards.

The musical was so successful in London that it was moved to Broadway in 1991 with Salonga continuing her performance as Kim. In 1989 Salonga earned the coveted role of Kim in the musical “Miss Saigon”. The album also showcased Salonga’s talents as an R&B performer. In 1988 she released her second studio album called “Lea”, which did exceptionally well in the Philippines with two singles reaching the No. Due to the success of the album she was given her own variety show labeled “Love, Lea”.

At the age of nine she released her debut album called “Small Voice”. Through her childhood she performed in many other musicals such as “Annie”, “Fiddler on the Roof”, and “Paper Moon”. Salonga has been performing since she was a child and at the age of seven she had already made her debut in the musical “The King and I”.
