Filipino followers of the young actor were quick to react to his post.

"Wow!! You had a photo with Ms. Lea Salonga!" one fan said.

"Two of my faves. Ian and Lea," another fan wrote.

The Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends is a tribute concert to late musical theatre legend Stephen Sondheim.

The show started with early performances on September 21 and is set to run until January 6, 2024, for the encore.

Aside from Lea and Bernadette, the show also stars  Christine Allado, Clare Burt, Janie Dee, Damian Humbley, Bradley Jaden, Bonnie Langford, Gavin Lee, Jason Pennycooke, Joanna Riding, and Jeremy Secomb, among others.

In an interview with London Theatre, Lea shared that performing Sondheim's work is special because "it's not just the vocal dexterity and the challenge your brain gets – he seems to have a direct line into your heart and he uses his massive intelligence to create a bridge from the actor to the audience."

She added: "It’s work of complexity, there’s nothing superficial about his stuff."

Meanwhile, Iain first gained popularity online in his YouTube series Iain Loves Theater, where he reviews musical stage shows. After his videos got noticed by the theater industry, two agents immediately expressed their interest in signing him.

He further catapulted to international prominence in 2017, when he was cast as a young Sheldon Cooper in the hit series Young Sheldon, which is a prequel to The Big Bang Theory.
