Here's what we know about Lea Salonga's Madame Tussauds Singapore wax figure:
It's a big year for Filipino stars and the Madame Tussauds brand. From the traveling figures of Pia Wurtzbach and Catriona Gray making waves in Singapore and Hong Kong to Anne Curtis getting chosen as the next Filipino wax figure model for Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, Salonga's debut at the famous museum and tourist destination marks another milestone for Philippine entertainment.
"When my manager said this is happening, that Madame Tussauds is interested in making a wax figure of me, it was an absolute honour and privilege to be asked. It’s fantastic!," shared Lea in her sitting session with the Madame Tussauds Singapore team of expert sculptors and artists.
Salonga, of course, needs no introduction. She has a well-decorated career in music and entertainment that spans over 45 years. Her credits include being the first Asian to play Eponine in Les Miserables on Broadway, debuting the role of Kim in Miss Saigon, and being the Philippines' OG Disney Princess—she is, after all, the singing voice of Mulan and Jasmine.
You might even say Queen P, Pia Wurtzbach, manifested this momentous occasion. In an interview with SPOT.ph back in March when her own wax figure made its Singapore debut, Wurtzbach expressed a wish for her wax figure to stand alongside Salonga's. "I think she's iconic and it's about time that we had her (wax figure), " says Wurtzbach.
Salonga's installation to the Madame Tussauds halls comes at a time when the museum continues to entice Filipinos to visit their different locations by including more Filipinos in their line up.
"We are truly excited and honoured to have Lea's wax figure," says Elaine Quek, Head of Sales and Marketing at Madame Tussauds Singapore.
Originally opened in 2014, Madame Tussauds Singapore is in the integrated entertainment and leisure complex of Resorts World Sentosa. It features different zones making it the home to the likeness of over 80 glamorous stars from Asia, Hollywood, Bollywood and beyond.
