Tonight: Lea Salonga concert on PBS "Great Performances"


Tired of all the football on TV? Stuffed with turkey and need to take a mental health break from the nonsense coming out of the White House or the latest depressing figures of the pandemic?

Broadway star and Disney queen Lea Salonga invites you to watch her CAAM-produced "Lea Salonga In Concert With the Sydney Symphony Orchestra" on Great Performances @GPerfPBS #BroadwayOnPBS tonight, Friday, November 27 9/8c. 

More than anything, Salonga wants viewers to come away from the program feeling uplifted after a particularly tumultuous year.

This isn’t the first time the legendary vocalist has worked with CAAM; in 2015, she recorded an introduction to a CAAM-produced PBS broadcast documentary called Filipino American Lives which included films like Harana and Jeepney.

Her concert will feature songs from musical hits from Les Miserables and Miss Saigon that she made famous to iconic Disney songs from Aladdin and Mulan that she sang for the animated features

“I hope that the excitement that we all feel is contagious and that everybody that watches it feels our joy and our spirit,” Salonga says. “Hopefully that comes through the screen [and] people feel… optimism that things will get better.”
