Broadway, Disney classics
Audiences can look forward to hearing classics from her award-winning roles in Miss Saigon and Les Misérables, as well as beloved Disney hits from Aladdin and Mulan.
The evening will also feature selections from more recent projects, including Stephen Sondheim’s “Old Friends, a tribute she performed both on Broadway and in London’s West End.
North American stops
In announcing the tour earlier this year, Salonga expressed her excitement about reconnecting with fans across North America.
The Costa Mesa performance is part of an extensive itinerary that will bring the Tony Award winner to over 30 cities across the United States and Canada, from New York and Miami to Las Vegas, Chicago and Toronto. But the Southern California date holds special significance for local fans, as it marks the only opportunity to see her live in Orange County this year.

What to expect from each show
The concert will not only highlight Salonga’s extraordinary versatility on stage but also showcase her gift for storytelling, combining soaring ballads with personal anecdotes that reflect her journey from Manila to Broadway stardom.
Supported by a full band and vocalists, the show is designed to be both intimate and spectacular, offering the kind of emotional depth that has defined her career for decades.
Beyond the music, Salonga’s tour also carries a philanthropic dimension through her Touring for Good initiative.
In New York City, her Oct. 20 performance at Town Hall will benefit Sing for Hope, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering communities through the arts.
Donors supporting the organization can access an exclusive VIP package that includes prime seating, a backstage meet-and-greet, a champagne reception and unique merchandise, all in support of making the arts more accessible.
