Lea Salonga, a 45-year-old actress and singer, is set to grace Madame Tussauds Singapore’s stage this year. Known for her iconic roles in Miss Saigon, Disney princesses Jasmine and Mulan, and as the first Asian to play Eponine in Les Misérables on Broadway, Salonga has toured globally, performing sold-out concerts in prestigious venues. She will be performing on the new stage at Madame Tussauds Singapore.
As a multi-faceted icon, Lea is also actively involved in numerous philanthropic activities by supporting the Philippines’ social causes, including the World Vision Organization and the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. She also staged fund-raising concerts for these and dedicated her single, “Dream Again,” to charities aiding in COVID-19 worldwide. She was also among The Voice Philippines and The Voice Kids Philippines judges, making her even more familiar and relevant to Filipino audiences. Other unmissable highlights of her career are performing for six Philippine presidents, four American presidents, and Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth II.
“When my manager said this is happening, that Madame Tussauds is interested in making a wax figure of me, it was an absolute honor and privilege to be asked. It’s fantastic!” shares Lea in her sitting session with the Madame Tussauds Singapore team of expert sculptors and artists.
Adding to special events happening this year, the announcement of Lea’s wax figure is just in time for her concert, Stage, Screen, and Everything in Between, where she will perform her iconic roles from Miss Saigon, Les Misérables, Aladdin, and Mulan, along with Miss Saigon shows in Singapore.
Fans worldwide will be thrilled to see more of Lea through her wax figure, set to be unveiled in the third quarter of this year. The figure will capture the theater legend in a striking pose that is powerful, iconic, and uniquely Lea.
Madame Tussauds Singapore celebrates its 10th anniversary this year with a slew of exciting figure launches, activities, and promotions throughout the year.
