I hope we find out where the tickets are for Manchester soon - I would assume that the powers that be would try to get as close as like for like given the venue change, but it would be good to get that confirmation. Just got my email. Seems like a reasonable transfer of seats I think..

Just got my email. Seems like a reasonable transfer of seats I think.. Not bad, been moved back from my Row D seat at the Bridgewater Hall to Row J of the Opera House but it could have been a lot worse. I'm on an aisle which is great for comfort, funnily enough the exact same seats I booked for Kinky Boots just before Christmas!

Well it’s finally happening! I’ll be at the Cardiff show tomorrow, which is now opening night of the tour. Looking forward to the Miss Saigon and Les Mis songs especially.

Please could you post a setlist of songs after the concert? I’m seeing her on Thursday in Birmingham, but would love to have an idea of the songs she will perform. Thanks.

Thanks for the updates. Pleased she was on good form, really looking forward to Manchester on Saturday.
I Shudder when I see "This Is Me" on the setlist as I am sick to death of that song, but I suspect hearing it sung by Lea might win me back over!

Exactly what I thought- while I can't wait to see her at the Palladium in a couple of weeks, I also can't wait for the time when performers don't feel to need to sing This Is Me and Let It Go at every opportunity!!

Great evening wasn’t it?! It was excellent indeed! Yew, thanks for remembering Burn, but there was definitely another song as well, cursing myself slightly for forgetting it but there we are. For someone who was saying she had jetlag, she was incredible, if I could sing half as well as that when I'm fully with it I'd be thrilled. I agree about This Is Me, and, to a lesser extent, Let It Go, but she did both so well that I still really enjoyed them. Nice to see Simon Bowman as the guest, there was some nice banter between the pair and there seemed to be genuine affection between the pair which was lovely. He was sat a few rows behind me, and happily chatting to audience members after as well. To those going later in the tour, I'm sure you'll have a great time.

For those who can't make the concerts, I've just spotted that Lea has released this live album recently - looks like the track listing is fairly similar to the setlists mentioned above. Thought some might find it enjoyable 😀

She was sensational tonight. Forget what I said about This Is Me, she could sing the menu from Pizza Hut and I would want to hear it. Hopefully she will do another musical in London before too long - just cast her in anything!!!
Setlist the same as previously posted, along with Burn and “in a very unusual way” from Nine I believe. Plus she finished the show with Greatest Love Of All. Very receptive crowd plus a lovely duet with Mark from the audience on A Whole New World.
Great to meet tysilio2 as well!

Lea Salonga is one of the artists appearing at the Lytham Festival Hollywood Proms tonight, along with Michael Ball, Sheridan Smith, Collabro and others. I am currently listening to the live broadcast on BBC Radio Lancashire and she is amazing!

Hi!
Just wondering from those who have seen Lea recently, I received these timings for her concerts this weekend at the London Palladium:
Matinee Performance Doors and bars open – 1pm Act One – 2pm Interval – 3:30pm Act Two – 4pm Show ends – 5pm
Evening Performance Doors and bars open – 6.30pm Act One – 7.30pm Interval – 8.25pm Act Two – 8.55pm Show ends – 9.50pm
I'm thinking they can't be right, that the matinee runs longer than the evening? How have the timings been at the other venues so far? Thanks x

It was more like an hour roughly for the first half in Cardiff, with the second perhaps being slightly longer because of the chat with Simon Bowman, and the encore. But the times for the evening performance seems right, not sure why the afternoon would have a longer show.

Manchester ran a very similar timescale to the evening performance you quote.

Many thanks for both your replies, I know seems a little odd that the matinee is running longer. Unless she has an additional guest! Will report back! Thanks again x

The Palladium just emailed across with amended times to their previous message! New timings for the matinee on Sunday are:
Doors and bars open – 1pm Act One – 2pm Interval – 2:55pm Act Two – 3:25pm Show ends – 4:20pm
Makes a lot more sense ;-)

^Wow...a 30 minute interval? All of her concerts have had 30 minute intervals, I think. It was certainly 30 mins in Birmingham.
