Last November, a long-awaited concert by the legendary Lea Salonga took place at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai under the title 'Stage, Screen & Everything In Between'. The artist performed alongside a band of musicians, including pop singer Nyoy Volante and his wife, actress Mikkie Bradshaw. They not only supported her vocally but also performed stunning duets on songs from 'Miss Saigon' 'The Last Night of the World' and 'The Movie in My Mind'.

Lea delighted the audience with ballads from classic films, including '(Everything I Do) I Do It for You', 'Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)', 'My Heart Will Go On', and 'Don't You (Forget About Me)'. Disney fans also got their piece of enjoyment, hearing ballads from their favorite productions, including 'Part of Your World', 'A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes', 'Colors of the Wind', and 'Let it Go'.

Before the concert began, Lea held a meet-and-greet with fans, where she performed songs that were not on the program. By performing her favorite songs from theater and film, Lea enchanted the audience with her powerful vocal talent and charismatic presence. It had been three years since her last performance at Expo 2020 in Dubai, and fans were eagerly awaiting her return.

She performed the famous song 'Will You Love Me Tomorrow' by The Shirelles, as well as 'Brave' by Sara Bareilles and 'Story of My Life' in memory of the late One Direction member, Liam Payne. Before her performance, she shared that this was her first concert in the arena and expressed her joy to her fans. In conclusion, she performed a heartfelt version of the song 'Greatest Love of All', which she considers one of her audition pieces for the role in 'Miss Saigon' back in 1988.

At the end of the concert, the audience enthusiastically applauded and stood up, expressing their admiration for Lea Salonga's talent. The artist confirmed her brilliance and mastery, presenting a new performance and leaving the audience with an unforgettable evening, full of songs and music from different eras and genres.
