January 17, 2009 - The long awaited stage play of the talented Lea Salonga's Cinderella has finally landed in Singapore. We booked our ticket since late last year and since then, I was just always looking forward to see her in person. Lea didn't disappoint me on our first meeting, there is something about Lea that people kind of like her in all the way she does. The voice is crystal clear and it just lingers all over the theater.The costume of the cast was also remarkable, it didn't stop me from smiling and admiring the cast and the stage everytime they will switch from one stage to another. The songs are really not very easy to remember, but definitely good to hear. There was a touch of comedy everytime the step-sisters will appear on the stage, they just nailed their part on giving fun to this fairy tale story.
Lea's face is also remarkable, it shines literally. Maganda sya in person (halos nasa harap kasi ang seat namin kaya kitang-kita ko sya), simple pero very smart and dating. She is the only Filipino in the main cast, but undoubtedly the star among them, of course sya si Cinderella. As asian, maliit ang height compared to all the western cast,but then again, she outshined everyone of them. The talent. The talent!
Right after the show, we had a quicky photo shooting right outside the theater.
Hindi pa ako kuntento sa kainan, actually gusto ko sana mag-bar with other friends, pero naisip ko bigla ang global crisis at ang negative economy review ng Singapore for 2009, and so I packed everything on our dining table and decided to go home na lang.

There are 2 other Filipinos in the cast- a married couple- Lawrence Martinez(son of comedian Leo Martinez) and Sheila Valderrama-Martinez. :)
I thought so too, but they are not in the main cast. I think they played a very small role, or mayble they appeared in Philippine's show only and not in Singapore :)
Not quite sure.
