I have just seen les miserables and i was so disapointed with the Eponine, i then realised it wasnt because she was bad just that Lea Salonga was so great that no one could surpase her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also cant help but critizie any woman who plays Kim in Miss saigon for the same reason!

Lea salonga is one of the best broadway actresses and singers ever. I loved her in Miss siagon which is now my fav musical, but i think she could try to expand her career a little more.
