Description
The guys on this vid were utterly desperate searching for an Asian who can play the role of Kim for the play Miss Saigon. As soon as Lea finished her trial of the song Sun and Moon, their faces cleared up. I remember watching a documentary that claims that talent search team were about to give up 'til they heard Lea and Monique Wilson. The producers decided to search for talents among Asian countries and I think Philippines was the last country they decided to search to, one of the French producers remembered having watched a Lino Brocka film about the Marcos regime and he recalled a scene in which, a group of activists were singing and told himself that these people can sing! Thus deciding to go in the Phils to search for talents who can play the roles for the play. The only thing in which, I was disappointed is Phils was the last resort:-) Correct me if I'm wrong about the info I provided;-} |
