Two legendary voices…

At Spotlight, the distance between artist and audience disappears.

Lea Salonga

Few performers have left as distinctive a mark on musical theater as Lea Salonga.

Her breakthrough performance as Kim in the original production of Miss Saigon made theater history, earning her both the Tony Award and Olivier Award for Best Actress and establishing her as one of the defining voices of her generation.

She went on to become the first Asian actress to play Éponine in Les Misérables on Broadway, later returning to the musical as Fantine, and has appeared in acclaimed productions across Broadway, the West End and stages around the world.

Beyond theater, Lea provided the singing voices of two of Disney’s most beloved heroines, Princess Jasmine in Aladdin and Mulan in Mulan and Mulan II. Her contribution to Disney was recognized when she was named a Disney Legend.

Across a career spanning more than four decades, Lea has performed for audiences around the world, received some of the highest honors in theater and entertainment, and earned a place on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

At Spotlight, Lea brings her extraordinary artistry to a setting altogether more personal.

This is Lea Salonga as few audiences ever get to experience her.

Alfie Boe

Alfie Boe has built a remarkable career spanning musical theater, opera, recording and live performance.

He is perhaps best known for his acclaimed portrayal of Jean Valjean in Les Misérables, including the landmark 25th Anniversary Concert at London’s O2 Arena, a performance that introduced his extraordinary voice to audiences around the world. Most recently, he dazzled audiences in Les Misérables The Arena Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall.

Alfie has moved effortlessly between the West End, Broadway and major concert stages, collaborating with leading orchestras and artists while building one of the most successful recording careers of any British theatrical performer.

His unmistakable voice, combining operatic power with an instinctive ability to connect with an audience, has made him one of Britain’s most distinctive performers. In recognition of his contribution to music and charity, Alfie was appointed an OBE.

Spotlight offers the opportunity to experience Alfie like never before. Here, the connection becomes even greater.

Expect remarkable music, stories from a life spent on some of the world’s greatest stages, and moments that could only happen with an audience this intimate.

Alfie Boe. Up close, and unforgettable.
