Currently, Lea serves as a coach on the Philippines hit television show and worldwide format, The Voice and The Voice Kids. “I am so thrilled to be returning to Australia. After performing in Sydney and Melbourne in 2017, we are excited to add Brisbane to this visit and I can’t wait to see all my Australian fans and share a night of some of my favourite music with them.” Lea said
In her performance Lea will showcase Broadway hits and movie greats, including songs from Les Misérables, Miss Saigon, The Greatest Showman, Aladdin and Frozen. Her vocals will be matched by Camerata, Queensland’s Chamber Orchestra, under the baton of Gerard Salonga.
