Welcome to BWW's ON THIS DAY Series celebrating theatrical birthdays, openings and special events that took place on this day in theatre history!

Happy Birthday, Lea Salonga! Salonga is best known for originating the lead role of Kim in the musical Miss Saigon, for which she won the Olivier, Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics and Theatre World awards. She was the first Asian to play the roles of Éponine and Fantine in the musical LES MISERABLES on Broadway. She also provided the singing voice of two official Disney Princesses: Jasmine in Aladdin (1992), and Fa Mulan in Mulan (1998). She most recently starred on Broadway in Allegience, opposite George Takei and Telly Leung.

In celebration of this day, we bring you 'On My Own' as performed at the 10th anniversary concert of LES MISERABLES in 1995. Click below to check it out!
