Lea Salonga returns to 54 Below for a holiday show designed for all ages. The listing presents Salonga as the evening’s featured artist and says the program aims to get audiences in the holiday spirit. No band, accompanying performers, guests, or other musical formation are named for this date, so the focus is squarely on Salonga’s own concert.
A Tony Award winner and one of Broadway’s biggest stars, Salonga is known for leading roles in Miss Saigon, Les Misérables, Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends, Once On This Island, and Allegiance. She is also a Disney Legend for her singing roles in Aladdin and Mulan. Her 54 Below appearance brings together a performer whose work spans major Broadway productions and animated-film favorites for a seasonal New York engagement.
