Global fans of Lea Salonga rejoiced when it was announced that the Tony award-winning singer-theater actress is returning to Broadway. 

Last April 8, the Manhattan Theater Club shared that the first productions of their 2024-2025 season will include Stephen Sondheim's "Old Friends." Salonga and Bernadette Peters will reprise their performances on March 25 next year at the Samuel J. Friedman Theater in New York City, but will have a pre-Broadway run in Los Angeles.  

ABS-CBN News caught up with Salonga and she expressed her excitement for her Broadway comeback. "I'm absolutely thrilled to be, along with the legendary Bernadette Peters, bringing 'Old Friends' stateside, first to Los Angeles and then to Broadway."  

She added, "The show is very special as it pays homage to Stephen Sondheim, one of the finest musical theater composer-lyricists ever. And for yet another Sondheim show to be heading to Broadway feels absolutely right."

Salonga's most recent Broadway performance was with "Here Lies Love," where she played Aurora Aquino in a limited engagement until August 13 last year. 

"Here Lies Love" got four Tony Award nominations including Best Choreography, Best Sound, Best Original Score (Music and/or Lyrics) Written for the Theater, and Best Scenic Design of a Muscial. Salonga took to her Instagram account and shared the good news to her followers.
