Tony Award–winning Broadway icon Lea Salonga returns to the Cincinnati Pops for an unforgettable evening of music and storytelling. Celebrated for her iconic performances in Miss Saigon and Les Misérables, and as the singing voice of Disney’s Jasmine and Mulan, Salonga brings her luminous voice and heartfelt artistry to a program filled with Broadway showstoppers, beloved film songs and timeless favorites — all soaring with the full symphonic splendor of the Pops.
There will be one 20-minute intermission.
